What’s up, kids?
Big Daddy Thug here, presenting another issue of the finest damn crime fiction the web has to offer.
Lady Detroit took the hot seat again, loading six hollow-point stories into the editorial heater she keeps in her purse next to her grammatical blackjack, rhetorical sap gloves and punctuation change purse. She’s got it cocked, loaded, and ready to fire those rounds of literary devastation right into your brainpan.
But before we announce this month’s selections – as always – MAD respect to all of those who submitted their work to us for the issue. Even if we couldn’t use your story, we love the hell you make our lives in having to choose. Think of us as your editorial masochists. So keep writing and keep sending ‘em in. We’ve been naughty and need to be punished. NAUGHTY!!!! NAUGHTY!!!!!
(At this juncture, I’d like to point out that I’ve either had too much coffee or not enough. Either way, suffering some serious caffeinated unbalance here)
