The Yellow Rail supports the campaign in defense of M-JOURNAL OF MYSTERY public and the press release of its director:
"Hello. It 'just out of print the new issue of "M- Mystery Magazine", the mystery Italian magazine with nine years of business behind. This number, for factors beyond our control, may be the last. And in Italy no longer exists a publication like this, which is noir, thriller, horror and fantasy fiction with strong doses of a high level. Some names: Jeffery Deaver, Douglas Preston, Joe R. Lansdale, Stuart M. Kaminsky e molti altri... compresi autori italiani che hanno esordito proprio su queste pagine. L'unica possibilità di continuare a realizzare "M" allo stesso prezzo è localizzare i suoi lettori - quelli che lo comprano abitualmente in libreria e quelli che ancora, strano a dirsi, non sanno della sua esistenza - e invitarli ad abbonarsi. Per conoscere meglio "M": www.myspace.com/mrivistadelmistero e http://www.alacranedizioni.it/pages/m/index.html .
Dall'editoriale di "M-Rivista del Mistero" nuova serie n.7: "Il nostro è un mestiere in cui bisogna aspettarsi l’inaspettato. Per esempio, che una rivista di un certo successo di critica e di pubblico debba fare i conti with factors beyond the quality of the product, such as cost of living and global recession. For many magazines, the simplest solution would be to close. But when a publication is now in its ninth year of existence and has become a small but important point of reference for a certain kind of literature ... the answer is no. The new issue of "M-Magazine of Mystery," now in print, however, a prelude to a (temporary) suspension of publications and a change of direction: the variables do not allow the market to continue to send in a bookstore at a fixed price and cost "by review "a product with an adequate number of pages, not inflated advertising, no gadgets, full of fiction, essays and illustrations, and the fruit of long and laborious research. To continue at the same price, the magazine will be carried out only by subscription, and then rely on the availability and readers. The advantage for you and for us: 32 € for six numbers, the greater security of do not miss an exit, what has so far not easy given the unpredictability of the distribution library. At this time, however, do not have the mathematical certainty that all the readers of "M-Magazine of Mystery" will be converted into loyal subscribers, and so I can not give assurances that the magazine will continue to exist as a paper publication. But if you are among these potential subscribers or re-subscribers, mandate per favore un’e-mail all’indirizzo cappi@alacranedizioni.it o scrivetemi presso la casa editrice e sarete tenuti al corrente sugli sviluppi della vicenda."
Grazie, Andrea Carlo Cappi
