While we did lose quite a few zines, the good news is that we have an equal number of new markets.
PulpPusher and Over My Dead Body came back from the dead with a vengeance publishing some great new stories.
Filling out the crime scene we have Shotgun Honey, Grift, Pulp Modern, Noir Nation, and Dirty Noir. All new zines with a great deal of promise.
The Laughter Shack is a new humorous flash site manned by David Barber of the Flash Fiction Offensive.
Then you have the markets that blend the genres. Comets and Criminals, Al Hist: Historical Fiction and Alternate History, The Writer and the White Cat, and Trembles.
You can find links for all these markets over there on the right.
All in all, 2011 was a good year for new zines, with many of the older zines, like Plots with Guns and All Due Respect getting new editors and others like Spinetingler making changes that will improve readership.
And that's your crime market rundown for the year - Happy writing, everyone!!
