If you have the latest issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery
Magazine, you've no doubt noticed the little blurb on the
last page announcing the return of Black Mask. I checked with
Janet Hutchings, the editor, and she tells me that the Black
Mask section will feature one reprint from the original
magazine, to be paired with a new story. The January reprint
will be Hammett's "Bodies Piled Up," and the new story will
be Chuck Hogan's "Two Thousand Volts." Keith Allan Deutsch
will have an introduction that explains the relationship
between Black Mask and EQMM.
The new stories will tend to be edgier than the usual EQMM
fare. Sounds like a good idea to me.
