Founded by Eddie Vega, Alan Ward Thomas, and Cort McMeel, Noir Nation: International Crime Fiction publishes crime fiction, mysteries, blots, true crime, and Noir Poetry in print and Kindle editions.

Currently, Stephen L. Heiden, Wendy A. Reynolds, and Rowena Galavitz serve in critical editorial roles.

Soon after its launch in 2011, Noir Nation became the globally recognized home of international crime fiction. Its content is often dark, sometimes creepy, and sometimes humorous but always at the service of the literary imagination as it explores the darker regions of human experience—where weak writing is the only crime.
