Shores/Black
Shores/Noir is a collection of Romance blacks and detective novels created by François Guérif in 1986 within the publisher " Rivages" created by Edouard de Andréis.
The collection quickly will position like one of the principal collections of detective novels. It definitively takes its take-off with the publication of the n° 27, the bloody Moon of James Ellroy. The book is immediately greeted by the critic and proposed by Jean-Patrick Manchette. It will make known in France Robin Cook.
The collection immediately dissociates its large rival of the time with a very particular work on the model of the covers created by Jacqueline Guiramand: photographs worked over again, with a large work on the color, which contrast with the dark covers of the Black series or black Fleuve.
The collection publishes at its beginnings above all the American literature with like specificity following an author throughout his career and thus tending towards a publication of the totality of its work. It is what was made for authors as Jim Thompson which had been forsaken by the Black series or James Ellroy, David Goodis, John Harvey and Tony Hillerman; the literature of Latin America is also present, with works of Paco Ignacio Taibo II. The other characteristic of the collection is that it functions almost as a closed circle where the members co-opt themselves mutually. For example it is Ellroy which made come Edward Bunker or Janwillem van of Wetering which proposed Charles Willeford.
The French authors were not forgotten by François Guérif. Claude Amoz, Jean-Hugues Oppel or Hugues Pagan forms part of the catalog very regularly.
