Brit Grit Alley features interviews, news and updates on what's happening down British crime fiction's booze and blood soaked alleyways.
A few Brit Grit updates for your delectation.
Byker Books is no more. The splendid Newcastle Brit Grit publishers have called it a day. Byker Books were the first publisher to put my stuff in print – in one of their splendid Radgepacket anthologies – and they also published lots of great books from the likes of Andy Rivers, Nick Quantrill, Darren Sant, Ian Ayris and many more. A sad loss and let’s hope the writers all find homes for their work.
Ritual in the Dark Essays and Reflections On The Work of Colin Wilson is a new website that looks in detail at the work of the great Brit Grit author and philosopher. The first post takes a look at his novel The Black Room
There’s lots of great new stuff at Grit Fiction’s flash fiction website Near To The Knuckle.
