DARK HOURS BOOKS

EVERY STORY HAS A DARK SIDE

Crime • Mystery • Noir • Suspense

Dark Hours Books is an independent crime-fiction publisher dedicated to distinctive voices, unforgettable characters, and compelling stories of crime, mystery, suspense, and the darker side of human nature.

Born from a love of Los Angeles and the extraordinary crime fiction the city has inspired, Dark Hours Books is drawn to stories with a powerful sense of place—fiction in which the streets, neighborhoods, landscapes, history, and culture are as essential as the characters who inhabit them.

Our books range across the crime-fiction spectrum: mysteries and thrillers, private-eye novels and police procedurals, historical crime and contemporary noir, stories of murder and corruption, criminals and cops, victims and avengers, outsiders and investigators.

What connects them is a sensibility and sense of place.

Atmospheric. Authentic. Memorable.

And above all, stories worth staying up for.
