Sad News

Word is spreading across the 'net that editor Bryon Quertermous is closing his ezine "Demolition". This is sad news indeed following as it does on the news last month that editor BJ Bourg was closing "Mouth Full of Bullets".

I'm proud to admit that I had stories accepted to both of these fine magazines and that both BJ and Bryon were wonderful to work with. Their zines will be missed.

The archives for both zines will remain up for a while, so do yourself a favor and check out some of the great short stories that have been published between their virtual covers. You'll be glad you did!

Just a quick addition. Nathan Cain over at the Independent Crime blog just reminded me that editor Dave Zeltserman also closed "Hardluck Stories" this year.

Oh yes, and "Murdaland"

The crime fiction short story market is really shrinking.
