Issue 5 of Crime Factory is now available on the web here.
Factory management tell me there’s been a few technical problems with this issue, hence the delay. But the wait has been well worth it.
In addition to the usual high quality fiction offerings, issue 5 has some great features and reviews on hardboiled and noir crime fiction and film.
And while I’ve got your attention did I mention that yours truly is among the contributors. Issue 5 includes my interview with one of the veterans of the Australian crime writing scene, Garry Disher. Garry talks about the difference between writing hard-boiled fiction and police procedurals, why after a ten plus-year break he decided to write another Wyatt book and the state of crime fiction in Australia.
I also review the pulp spy thriller Redback by Lindy Cameron, which has just been released by Australia’s newest player on the publishing scene, genre specialists Can Destine Press.
Excellent to see interviews with Garry and Lindy – thanks guys.
