John Kenyon announced last year before Bouchercon that he was going to create a new crime fiction 'zine called Grift. As he said in a recent post, "The goal was to create a magazine that would mix interesting, hard-hitting non-fiction with some of the best short fiction in the genre. I believe we have succeeded, and I hope you will agree."
The first issue will be out in March, with features including Scott Phillips on the "Factory" novels of Derek Raymond; Ray Banks on film adaptations of Charles Willeford’s books; Lawrence Block on his various experiments with storytelling styles; Chris Rhatigan's interview with author Julie Morrigan; and John's interview with author Chris Offutt as well as his review of the three novels of John Rector. Plus, there are new stories from Jack Bates, Ken Bruen, Alec Cizak, Matthew C. Funk, Chris F. Holm, Craig McDonald, Court Merrigan, Thomas Pluck, Keith Rawson and Todd Robinson.
It will be available in print form, but there are also some great features on the website, too. John said he'll be posting ordering info very soon.
