Periodicals, etc.

Crime Time, one of the UK’s leading crime fiction mags, has updated their website with Natasha Cooper’s essay on John Le Carre and reviews of books by Ken Bruen, Stephen Hunter & Joanna Hines.

Meanwhile, I managed to forget about including the new issue of Shred of Evidence in last week’s online fiction roundup, so let me rectify the mistake. It’s yet another excellent issue, but pay special attention to Cabana Boy Ray Banks’ new standalone story, Iain Rowan’s foray into game theory, and Aliya Whiteley’s wonderfully bizarre exploration of suffocating maternal influence, murder and penguins. And the final line absolutely kicks ass.
