Sources for short crime fiction

I received an email this morning from a reader looking for places to read short crime fiction. I suggested a few likely candidates, then thought that other people might like to see the list as well.

Short fiction isn't really my area of expertise, but here are some of the publications I've either read, or had recommended to me:

Print:
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine
Murdaland

Online:
Demolition Magazine (this year's Gumshoe Award winner)
Hardluck Stories
ThugLit
Thrilling Detective Website
Shots Mag

There are other fine publications, I'm sure. (I'm just not remembering them at the moment.) But those are all good places to start.

Shred of Evidence is back. There is also Spinetingler, Mouth Full of Bullets, Out of the Gutter, Crime and Suspense and a new one called Pulp Pusher.
You can see I'm often drinking at the well.

David: Another web site worth adding to your list is Power Burn Flash.

As usual, Sarah knows everything first! As a writer with a suspense novel on sub, I was very excited to read this. Little, Brown publishes some of my favorite authors, but you're right, they're all very well established. Maybe new years comes on January 11th this year...
