KRIMI! - The new magazine for central european crime culture out soon.

 Well, we did it. Over a few beers and Apfelschorles in Oberhausen/Germany, Holger Haase (founder of the Krimifilm.blog) and me have decided to put out our own print-magazine called KRIMI!. There is so much to say and to write about and often these blog-entrances have to be cut down as the attention span is short. 

Basically we have enough material for the first few issues already and there are really stunning things on the way.

With the print-magazine we have the luxury to go all in, investigate hard and deep and will try to lay a foundation for serious, if not scientific, work on the subject of eurocrime. 

The first issue will be issue #0 that we will just put out to get familiar with the technology and the economy behind this. There will be newly revised and extended features in it though. So it will be worthwhile, even if you have already read about these topics in the blogs. But then, this is #0 and we will delete it, once #1 has come out (that will feature completely new topics and insights), making it a collector's item.

We have chosen Amazon as it has the best platform for us and it will be available worldwide. Issue #0 will be available both as kindle-epub and as printed paperback but we're thinking about going print-only as we feel that will do justice to the weight of the contens.

The #0 will be out soon, the latest date will be Dec. 31st 2024, but we will beat that for a few weeks.

In this issue you will find 

  • an extended and completely revised entrance on Jess Franco and (Bryan) Edgar Wallace
  • an extended and completely revised entrance on Heather Gardiner, who wrote the crime-novel "Money on Murder" on which "Das Hotel der Toten Gäste" is based and had a very interesting but untold (worldwide!!) life.
  • a new feature on how the Fantomas-series was ended although being the most successful of all of eurospy (including James Bond).
  • and a definitive definition of Krimi with the best Krimi-Movies presented for each example given.

We're not finished so things might change. But we will keep you informed. 

KRIMI has its own blog, so you might check this one out regularly....
