From the hardboiled/noir review blog Eastern Standard Crime, a new opportunity for short story writers and readers is coming January 1.
A new outlet for short stories (the good kind, the criminally good kind) is on the way. CROOKED will be devoted strictly to crime fiction short stories that would make Hammett, Chandler and Macdonald proud.
This will be web-only .PDF format. It will be non-paying but authors will be able to promote their novels, websites, etc. with relative ease.
The first issue is January 1 and new issues follow monthly after that. Story Requirements:
• hardboiled, noir or something along those lines
• 2,000 words or more
• never published anywhere else
