Crimewave 7: The Last Sunset edited by Andy Cox
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
This magazine has remained on the cutting edge of dark realism while maintaining its high standards and bringing readers the very best in the genre. What a shame it is only quarterly; stories of this callibre a person could easily get addicted to and find themselves in withdrawal a large part of the year. This issue, subtitled The Last Sunset, is another winner -- crammed to bursting with the "good stuff."

Dark realism, mystery, even a splash of speculative fiction -- this is a perfect outlet for the flourishing, breakaway school of crime fiction. Gone are the police procedurals, the two-bit crooks, the hard-boiled dicks; they have a place, but this isn't it. Instead, you are locked eye-to-eye with the human monsters among us. And it's a chilling experience.
