Per Peter DiChellis’ message to our
SMFS list…
This week’s blog dishes the straight
dope on short mystery and crime fiction, especially for fans of detective
stories, with links to free reads, an Otto Penzler essay that makes the case
for short-form detective tales, and a cross–section of crime-infested picks for
your TBR pile (including links to a review of a Lawrence Block Matt
Scudder collection, the upcoming release of The Big Book of
Female Detectives, and to a 2011 Loren D. Estleman Amos Walker collection).
Plus,
an essay on the art of sculpting a story’s sagging middle.
A
short walk down a dark street
Best
wishes,
