Today the full short story anthology, L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories<\/a>, is now available as a\u00a0completely free download from Amazon<\/a>, iTunes<\/a> and Barnes & Noble<\/a> eBook stores.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with renowned suspense fiction publishing house Mulholland Books<\/a>, the anthology is a collection of eight original\u00a0short stories, from an esteemed, and award-winning company of authors. Each tale\u00a0honors the shadowy and crime-riddled world of L.A. Noire<\/a> – and plunges you into the lives of actresses desperate for the Hollywood spotlight, heroes turned defeated men, and classic Noir villains.<\/p>\n

L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories<\/a> features eight short works from celebrated authors Megan Abbott<\/a>, Lawrence Block<\/a>, Joe Lansdale<\/a>, Joyce Carol Oates<\/a>, Francine Prose<\/a>, Jonathan Santlofer<\/a>, Duane Swierczynski<\/a> and Andrew Vachss<\/a>, many of which revisit characters and cases from the game itself, and provide a new spin on infamous headlines from the 1940s.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the release of L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories<\/a>, we are offering the complete anthology of all eight complete works, and each original cover illustration, as a completely free download at the Amazon<\/a>, iTunes<\/a> and Barnes & Noble<\/a> eBook stores.
