Murdaland

Murdaland

Murdaland: Crime Fiction for the 21st Century was a literary noir magazine. It featured original fiction from Mary Gaitskill, Jayne Anne Phillips, Ken Bruen, Rolo Diez, Tom Franklin, Scott Phillips, Anthony Neil Smith and Daniel Woodrell, among others. By May 2009, only two issues had been printed and the publication appears to be defunct. Murdaland was edited by Michael Langnas; Sean O'Kane was the assistant editor. Cortright McMeel published the initial issue and was publisher emeritus of the second. In 2010 McMeel's debut novel 'Short' was published by St. Martins Press and in 2011 he announced he was starting a new crime press (Noir Nation: International Journal of Crime Fiction) with Eddie Vega who had been involved in the initial conception of Murdaland. In 2011 Sean O'Kane became editor of the online publication Plots With Guns.
