Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine March/April 2016 Reviews
-
Some of the best fiction being published today is published in three magazines: Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Lately, all three have been publishing stories that, in future, might well be considered part of a golden age of fiction writing. Unfortunately, declining circulation figures indicate fewer and fewer readers are discovering these stories.
Let this issue of EQMM be your introduction, should you need one, to modern mystery writing. The first story is one by William Faulkner -- yes, that William Faulkner -- from the archives. There follow stories that simply have to be read.
Warning: if you buy this issue, you're going to be itching to subscribe. Go ahead. -
Not a review...but a comment.
After weeks of searching, I finally found a new copy for sale of this EQMM issue March/April 2016. I wanted to read "The Hearse" by Michael Wiley and include it in my collection of his writings. (Wiley won the Shamus for his P. I. in Chicago series title
A Bad Night's Sleep.)
The next story in this issue is by another favorite Shamus-winning author. I have lamented often that Irish crime writer Declan Hughes only wrote five Ed Loy, P. I. novels. His story in this EQMM issue is an Ed Loy story!
Happy reading days ahead for me! -
Been a long time since I've read one of these. I missed it! MOAR!
