Noir powerhouse <a href="http://thuglit.com/">Thuglit</a> has released issue 38, which it appears will be their last.<br/>
<br/>
Started in 2005, Thuglit was one of the longest-running crime fiction zines. Editor Todd Robinson said in an interview with <a href="http://www.outsideleft.com/main.php?updateID=717">Outside Left</a> that they started the site to continue where Plots with Guns had left off.<br/>
<br/>
Thuglit consistently printed outstanding, well-edited, really really<br />
violent work in a very readable format. During the last three years,<br />
Kensington released three anthologies, which all received favorable<br />
reviews. Thuglit was one of the only publications to print well-known<br />
authors alongside newbies. I think many publications claim to do this<br />
but, in reality, they don't. <br/>
<br/>
In the statement on the site, there are no specific reasons offered on<br />
why they decided to close, though running a small zine obviously<br />
requires a lot of time and money--it seems by surviving they're always<br />
bucking the trend. The statement also doesn't rule out the possibility<br />
of a return, but makes it appear unlikely.<br/><br/>For more on this and other short crime fiction musings, check out my blog, <a href="http://death-by-killing.blogspot.com">Death By Killing</a>.<br/>
