Needle Magazine is hardboiled, lean and mean. No silly reviews. No poetry. No advertising. Nothing but hard hitting stories. In your face and busting up your kiss-maker. Kapow.

Needle was cooked up by author Steve Weddle and art director John Honor Jacobs and – with the help of editors Scott D. Parker, Naomi Johnson and Daniel O’ Shea –they have put together a cracking first issue. The magazine looks great and contains over 150 pages of cushty writing. It kicks off with this line from Kieran Shea’s splendid hardboiled P.I. story The Shrewd Variant : ’So you’re saying my daughter is a whore?’ And then it grabs you by the lapels and drags you along with it on a bloody, boozey pub crawl that calls last orders at Jedidiah Ayres’ The Whole Buffalo which is as amazing a piece of writing as you’re likely to read this year. Along the way you’ll read all sorts of gems from Hilary Davidson, Keith Rawson, Dave Zeltserman, Cormac Brown, Eric Beetner Sandra Seamans and Chad Rohrbacher and MANY MORE (Including me!)
