A while back I referenced Ed Gorman's magazine, Mystery
Scene. An avian contacted me off-list as to contact info fopr
it, and, with my usual breakneck speed, I was working on
that.... The magazine has had more homepages than I can
recall over the past several years; the latest was supposed
to be on the Horror World site -
http://pluto.spaceports.com/~mot/main.htm
but it never actually appeared.
Then, a week ago, on another (non-mystery) List, I
read:
>The news is out that Ed Gorman has sold MYSTERY SCENE
to Kate Stine (former
>editor of THE ARMCHAIR DETECTIVE) and her husband
Brian.
Do any of the Well-Informed avians know anything more about
this? (Such as if #74 was the last Gorman issue, or if
there'll be a transitional issue?)
Sad news, though, no matter what the replacement proves to
be.
[What the mystery 'field' needs is the equivalent of
LocusOnline. There are many fine sites out there -- several
of which are lovingly maintained by some of you, but AFAIK
there is not a one-stop site where someone not privy to the
inner circles can find out news such as this.... Or does it
exist, and I just haven't passed the Initiation yet?]
One thing that _did_ show up on Horror World though, was a
column (dated April) by Gorman, which starts:
>Lawrence Block is editing a series of anthologies
featuring the first
>published stories by a long list of crime stories.
Shots, the books are
>called. He was nice enough to ask me into the second
volume but I
>hesitated to send him my first story. And explained
why. And after I
>explained why, he said that even if I didn't send him
the story, I had to
>write up the story behind it. So here for the sake of
posterity...

A fun read, and if not exactly h-b, well, it ain't
'media'...!
