First things first: PLOTS WITH GUNS, your Internet source for
hard-boiled and noir, has moved to
www.plotswithguns.com
Our very own place. No curfew. Oh, there'll be trouble
now.
The new issue is overflowing--no, let's say *seething*--with
dark stories chosen by Guest Editor ROBERT SKINNER. He's the
author of the acclaimed Wesley Farrell series, set in New
Orleans during the 1930s and 40s (go grab a few copies of
DADDY'S GONE A HUNTING, BLOOD TO DRINK, and PALE SHADOW). His
introduction gives us the essential argument for guns in
literature.
Featuring regulars Crimedogs HUGH LESSIG and EDWARD C.
LYNSKEY, the issue also brings a flood of new names to our
pages--CARTER SWART, G. DURANT HAIRE, J. R. CHABOT, LINDA A.
LAVID, ROBERT PETYO, KEITH COMBS, JOSH BUCHIN
(who *might* be Batman, but we're not sure), and IAIN ROWAN.
The stories are hard, cold, and stunningly rendered, like an
icy snowball in the face. Okay, less severe than a gun, but
since it's January and all...
VICTOR GISCHLER weighs in on the glories of FILTH in his
column HARD-BOILED DIXIE.
As usual, guaranteed to offend someone somewhere somehow. But
it wouldn't be good crime fiction if it didn't do that at
least a little bit, right?
Let it snow. You've got a lot of reading to do.
