Uh-Oh, More to Read

Two new Web projects worth your sampling in the near future: Ted Lewis Online, James Black’s excellent tribute to the British writer whose 1970 novel, Jack’s Return Home, was transformed into the Michael Caine film Get Carter; and the e-zine Ligature Marks Fiction & Film, dedicated to “crime/noir, dark fiction, and suspense.” The premiere issue of Ligature Marks carries fresh fiction by the likes of Joe R. Lansdale (“Mister Weed Eater”) and an interview with Simon Beckett, the author most recently of Whispers of the Dead.
