What is the Salmagundi? It's 20 tales of desperation and decadence told through the eyes of characters on the edge. The stories careen between right and wrong as they navigate through love and death and everything in between. It's where tales of murder, hookers, bar fights and Holly Go Lightly wannabes keep pace with stories about familial loss, suicide, coming of age and the after effects of war (a zombie war, but a war none the less). Invoking Barthelme, Thompson and Carver, the writing is experimental and unflinching with a surreal sense of humor. The Salmagundi is playful and disturbing, diverse and entertaining - it's perfect for reading on the beach or while waiting to get your mom out of jail!

Crimeucopia - Say It AgainEver Get A Feeling Of Déjà Vu?There are many things which can be said of the Modern World, and one of those is the amount of 'noise' when it comes to finding something - anything - that makes you sit up and say I like that. And sometimes, by the time that happens, the 'item' has passed by and gone, washed out of sight by the riptide of The Next New Thing to surf across your attention.Which is why, whenever we open the doors to new projects and submissions, we also see pieces passed to us with the offer of reprinting them.Some may only have a paper history, some may only have been up on a webzine site - placed for a short period of time before being archived into the depths of an ISP's hosting server.And there are also those pieces which, quite rightly, authors may have a fondness for - the joyful offspring of their creative minds, regardless of how twisted they might be (the offspring that is, rather than the minds of their creators), and which they feel are deserving of a second read.Hopefully by presenting these pieces here, you'll start looking at various magazine and webzine archives, in search of something that may have passed you by, or that you missed the first time around.And, as always with all of these anthologies, we hope you'll find something that you immediately like, as well as something that takes you out of your regular comfort zone - and puts you into a completely new one because, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto: You never know what you like until you read it.
