Black Mask magazine, launched in 1920, built its reputation on fostering, and later inspiring, some of mystery’s most beloved hardboiled writers, including Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Carroll John Daly, Theodore A. Tinsley, and Paul Cain.
These tough, grim, but ultimately noble stories of private eyes and crooks represent an extremely powerful slice of American fiction. Mysteriouspress.com/Open Road Media is thrilled to announce that Black Mask stories will be available in digital format beginning August 27, 2013.
Paying homage to the original magazine, stories will be released monthly, commencing with works by Black Mask masters Norbert Davis, Steve Fisher, and Paul Cain, as well as an omnibus of stories by Theodore A. Tinsley, Jerry Tracy, Celebrity Reporter. All works feature new cover art, as well as brand-new introductions.

Thanks for the info, Dave.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm. Not impressed with their pricing ($1.99 for a 24 pages story?), especially on stories (some anyway) that I already have in anthology form.
ReplyDeleteI agree 8 1.3 cents a page seems pricey unless it's something a person can't live without. Good idea, though.
ReplyDeleteI nabbed an advance copy of the Jerry Tracy stories. Looking forward to dipping in.
