Good morning.
In case any of you might be interested, Richard Moore has
combined his recent postings on Rara-Avis concerning Stewart
Sterling and his various detectives, including Gil Vine, into
an article that will appear in the new issue of Mystery*File,
out very shortly.
Mystery*File is a general purpose mystery review and
commentary fanzine which will be available in print form
only. I'm reviving it this month after a long hiatus.
Also in this upcoming issue:
Addenda to Crime Fiction IV, by Al Hubin The Gold Medal
Corner, by Bill Crider The Crime of My Life, by Marv
Lachman
And tons of reviews and commentary on all kinds of mysteries,
from cozies
(and gothics) to hard-boiled private eyes. Many other
contributors have helped to fill the 32 pages of this first
new issue in several years.
From the introductory pages, where some history and an
overview of the new magazine is given:
"A primary focus of Mystery*File is not to be an up-to-date
newsletter for the field, but a place where old and new works
co-exist, where older mysteries can be brought up and
discussed as well as those by the most recent hot authors,
and where the careers of writers can be looked at in
perspective. Mystery*File will be for those fans who love to
read and talk about mysteries and series characters, and
those who love to make checklists and those who love to have
them."
If you're interested in learning more, reply to me off list,
and I'll send you a copy of the first two pages, including
subscription information, by return email.
Best
Steve
