Essays on crime fiction writers.
The Great Filling Station Holdup
Jimmy Buffett is one of the great contemporary singer/songwriters, and it’s hard to imagine a citizen of Planet Earth unfamiliar with such classic hits as “Margaritaville.” Jimmy has also written novels, children’s books, memoirs, and a stage musical based on Herman Wouk’s Don’t Stop the Carnival, and his family-friendly concerts almost always sell out to audiences comprised of a mix of dedicated Parrotheads, casual fans, and newbies. In The Great Filling Station Holdup, editor Josh Pachter presents sixteen short crime stories by sixteen popular and up-and-coming crime writers, each story based on a song from one of the twenty-nine studio albums Jimmy has released over the last h...
Down & Out: The Magazine Volume 2 Issue 1
In this issue, pioneering TV writer and producer April Kelly opens with a wicked story that may remind you to pay attention to what you eat. Brendan DuBois appears with the story of an assassination and its aftermath—from the killer’s point of view. Ray Daniel & Kellye Garrett team up with a story that brings together characters from their own series. Our feature is by Walter Satterthwait, who comes at us with his first new story in a while. The lead character, Fallon, helps—in his own way—solve a murder at a monastery. Edgar Award-winning author Sylvia Maultash Warsh brings us a piece about deception in the world of art, and we welcome Benjamin Boulden back with his second story for us. Robb T. White returns following his Best Mystery Stories of 2019 entry in our pages, and Dane F. Baylis, Richard Prosch and Richard Risemberg debut in our magazine with some of the most entertaining crime fiction you’ll find.
Down & Out
Issue four closes our exciting first year with the very talented debut of Arthur Klepchukov. His intelligent "A Damn Fine Town" is followed by film director and writer John Shepphird and a prequel to his award-nominated "Shill" trilogy, a bit of a teaser for those of you who may not have discovered Jane Innes...yet. Brian Silverman is up next with a story set on his fictional Caribbean island of St. Pierre featuring his characters, Leonard and Tubby. The featured story this issue is of the most excellent Inspector Kubu by the writing team of Michael Stanley. If "Shoot to Kill" is your first Kubu tale, believe me, he's only better when he's in a novel. Our featured historical story is by the ...

Down & Out: The Magazine Volume 2 Issue 2
There are a number of noteworthy articles in this issue of The Magazine. We are fortunate to feature some of the correspondence between two legends of crime fiction, Walter Satterthwait and Bill Crider, both of whom recently passed away. For those who knew Walter and Bill, or were just fans of their work, there is a touch of their personalities that comes through in these exchanges and, at least for a moment, gives us an opportunity to experience their unique voices just a little bit, just one more time. Jeff Vorzimmer, editor of last year’s The Best of Manhunt collection, tells us about Stephen Marlowe’s career in the piece leading into his story The Blonde at the Wheel. Jeff also contributed a story of his own and we’re happy to have this opportunity to showcase his many skills. We also have a couple of repeat appearances by writers who have appeared in previous issues. Arthur Klepchukov is back, as is John M. Floyd and John Shepphird. And with original stories by veterans like Josh Pachter and James O. Born, and newer offerings by Michael Cahlin, Steven Nester and Ken Luer, we’re showing the art of the crime fiction short story is still going strong. May it ever be so.
Mad Dog Barked
Booklist reviewed Ollerman's first book as having "all the slam-bang anyone might want." They called his second book, Truth Always Kills, "a moody novel with a sullen authority." His latest is a detective thriller set in Sarasota, Florida-his best yet!
Truth Always Kills
A cop in departmental trouble knows his wife is being stalked, but feels helpless to do anything about it. Does he report it and bring undue attention to himself, or should he take matters into his own hands, and damn the consequences?
