About “Weight Less Than Shadow”
Setting: The Golden Gate bridge sometime in the near future. An innocent stroll on a sunny Sunday afternoon turns into something more… much more. The story is featured in San Francisco Noir, a hard-biting collection of tales exploring the shadowy nether regions of scenic “Baghdad by the Bay.” In this superb collection, virtuosos of the genre meet up with the best of S.F.’s literary fiction community to chart a unique psycho-geography for a dark landscape.
From inner city boroughs to the outlands, each contributor offers an original story based in a distinct neighborhood. At times brutal, darkly humorous, and revelatory — the stories speak of a hidden San Francisco, a town where the fog is but a prelude to darker realities lingering beneath.
