I happened upon mention of the first issue of Switchblade, an anthology of noir in paperback form, while surfing crime writing stuff on the net. It sounded interesting, so I ordered a copy which arrived from the US in a little over a week.
Issue # 1, edited by Scotch Rutherford, contains 5 pieces of flash fiction, and then 8 short stories. There is some seriously great noir writing in this collection. I'm certainly going to be pursuing some of the authors further to see what else they have out there.
And I'll be thinking about a short story myself for submission - maybe my PI Harry Kenmare needs some stand alone tales!
If you love your noir, I highly recommend this new publication.
