<< Does anyone know any current magazines that publish
hardboiled fiction? >>
Apart from those already mentioned (including Hardboiled -
which I think was the first mag ever to buy a short story
from me, and Blue Murder - an exceptionally writer-friendly
e-mag; and Crimewave, which i co-edit, and which is by a very
large margin the smartest-looking, most adventurous cri-fi
mag in world history), there is also SHOTS, a UK mag - email
the editor Mike Stotter for details: <michael@mjstotter.demon.co.uk>.
The current issue of Shots is a Chandler special, and
contains a short story of mine, of which I am embarrasingly
proud, and which I think should appeal to Chandler fans - if
only because you will enjoy wincing at the Chandleresque puns
scattered through the piece. If I tell you that it includes
the line (about a gangster who's in the demolition and
construction racket) "Well, rubble is his business", you will
understand what a depraved criminal I truly am.
- with abject apologies, Mat Coward
