ThugLit

The final issue of ThugLit has hit the virtual streets, my friends. You'll find 8 brand spanking new stories by Joe Clifford, Mike Wilkerson, Garnett Elliot and others. Big Daddy Thug, Todd Robinson, says they're closing up shop, probably permanently, but the archive will remain for your reading pleasure. We here at the Corner salute all your hard work, Mr. Robinson, and thank you for the years of great reading and hard work that went into every issue of ThugLit. You will be missed! http://www.thuglit.com

Really, really hate to see that.

Damn! He turned down more of my stories than he took but it was a class act with lots of care.

Oooh. That's bad news. One of the best pubs around.

So do I, David, but Todd and his wife just had a new baby and they take a lot of time. Hopefully he'll come back sometime in the future.

A very class act, Patti. I never cracked the pages of ThugLit and finally gave up. My stories just weren't a fit.

Yes it was, ThugLit was one of the first noir zines that showed there was a market for dark crime stories.

It was a class act indeed.

Yep, they knew what they wanted and never waivered, Naomi.

It was a great run. Thanks to Todd and Allison and the rest of the crew. I'll certainly miss this zine.
