Yep, Pulp Pusher is being put out to stud. None of us really have the time to do it anymore. We had a good run, met some fabulous folks along the way, and will likely miss all the chaos, but it’s just got too tough finding the time to put it all together. I don’t rule out it being resurrected in some form or another at some point down the track, but for now it’s end of. We had some fabulous contributors, like Nick Stone, Cathi Unsworth and Ray Banks, and interviewed some of the greats ... [Andrew] Vachss, [Ian] Rankin and [Ken] Bruen, to name three, and I’ll always be grateful to those who got involved and became a part of Pusher along the years, but nothing lasts forever.Unfortunately, the site hasn’t been left up as an archive, so all links from other sites (including this one) now lead to nowhere. Too bad.
But Arizona writer Keith Rawson, one of the people behind the new Webzine, Crimefactory, has generously offered to pick up the slack. In a note posted in his blog yesterday, he offered “to do something for those authors who formerly had stories, interviews and articles on Pulp Pusher. If you’d like, I will convert your story into a PDF and I will archive it on the Crimefactory Web site. If the response is great enough, I’ll gather the stories together and edit them into an e-book anthology so that these stories will never disappear.”
Anybody interested in this offer should contact Rawson at rawsonkeith_at_gmaildotcom

It's amazingly generous of Keith when one knows how full is his plate already.
I really respect people like Dave Zeltersman who notified people and allowed them time to reclaim their stories. And Keith is a saint. To take it down with no notice seems a trifle shabby.
I can only echo Naomi and Patti's sentiments: Apart from being a great guy, Keith is a rock in a treacherously mean-spirited time.
Very sad news about Pulp Pusher - it will be missed but a very generous offer by Keith - he's a gent!
