All Due Respect's third issue features a story by and an interview with Jake Hinkson, whose latest book, Saint Homicide, has that tasty combination of old-fashioned religion and murder. Plus new fiction from Angel Luis Colon, Jen Conley, Rob Hart, Jessica Adams, Patti Abbott, Chris Leek, Mike McCrary, and Alec Cizak. From thugs throwing rocks at freight trains to ex-convict converts to Buddhism, All Due Respect's got it all.
Chris Rhatigan is the co-publisher of All Due Respect Books. He is the author of the novellas The Kind of Friends Who Murder Each Other, Squeeze, and Race to the Bottom. He lives in India.
The editors of All Due Respect are really sighted in. They picked an outstanding crop of stories, led by featured author Jake Hinkson. The non-fiction section then heightens your appreciation of the stories and what's happening in the crime fiction community. This time it's anchored by the interviews with Hinkson as well as publisher David Cranmer. And as if your to-read list isn't long enough already, the reviews will be sure to amplify it.
All Due Respect and Thuglit are a potent left-right combo.
Another great issue of All Due Respect. I think this one is even better than issue two. This time around it features the author of Hell On Church Street and The Big Ugly, Jake Hinkson, who I have never read before. I thoroughly enjoyed Hinkson's story as well as the other writers, most of whom I have read previously. Again it has interviews and book reviews as well as the short stories which in my opinion make ADR stand out a little more. As I said it's a great mag and now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go and read some Jake Hinkson novels.
Another great issue of All Due Respect who throw together an issue with lots of now recently to well known names. I'd read some of the stories before in various places, but took pleasure in reading them again especially the Jake Hinkson take "The Theologians" and Angel Luis Colon's "Separation Anxiety". There was a Rob Hart take that was new to me and an enjoyable one from Patti Abbott.
Really glad ADR is back in its monthly form online.
