Hell, we've been running Murder Slim Press for almost a decade now. Here's our history of work, with live links to stuff you can check out.

--- 2014 ARCHIVE ---

DECEMBER 2014
--- u.v. ray's THE MIGRANT and Steve Hussy's BACK will both be released in the New Year. I'm working my ass off to get four new MSP books out there, trust me, while I'm listening to the new Shellac album.
--- The Savage Kick's new webpages are now running. Feel free to submit, folks... but try to read an issue beforehand. We're picky bastards.
--- Seymour Shubin's obituary is part of his new webpages online. We'll also be releasing The Captain before Christmas. I had been working on it with Seymour in the months leading up to his death.

NOVEMBER 2014
--- Your Bank Blogger, Jeffrey P. Frye is currently on suicide watch in prison. Please send all good thoughts and anything else to try and help him recover. Jeff's looking at a long stretch inside, so any encouragement is really something.
--- New Murder Slim webpages for the equally much missed Robert McGowan are available here.
--- MSP writer and friend Seymour Shubin died on November 2nd. Truly terrible news and I'm crestfallen. Read his obituary here.

OCTOBER 2014
--- New Murder Slim webpages for u.v. ray are online. Check 'em out.
--- The new Murder Slim Press Paypal Shop is ready for business. You should find it much easier to naviagate and find the goodies you're looking for.
--- I've made the big jump to update the look of the whole of MurderSlim.com. I want to make everything easier to read and navigate, whilst still maintaining an eye-catching look. I'll keep you updated with the new pages as they appear.

SEPTEMBER 2014
--- Jeffrey P. Frye's Bank Robber's Blogposts continue to stack up and I love 'em all for different reasons. Some are touching, some are hilarious, and some show Jeff's perceptive eye. In all cases, they bring the world of prison to life for us non-prisoners. It's a truly valuable blog and addictive as hell.

AUGUST 2014
--- SAVAGE KICK #7 is almost here! Check out the front cover and further information here.
--- Perceptive new review of Jeffrey Frye's ONE CRAZY DAY is now on 'Freedom Fiction.' Give it a read here.

JULY 2014
--- I've created a new portrait of Mark SaFranko and it's available on Steve Hussy's new Artwork page, along with my portraits of Bukowski, Dan Fante and others.
--- Your lovable lawbreaker Jeff Frye has a new story on MSP's Bank Robber's Blog. "Rebel With A Blog" comically deals with maximum security prison guards. You've got over two years worth of free stories, but this is $1 Free Frye Fund post. It's well worth your measly dollar, you cheapskates.

JUNE 2014
--- Monkey Picks have written an excellent and insightful review of u.v. ray's SPIRAL OUT. Read it here.
--- Another fantastic Gil De Ray music mix combined with a great story. This time it's for Tony O'Neill's BALLS which first featured in SAVAGE KICK #2.

MAY 2014
--- Don't forget our Facebook page is here. "Like" us and all that, and you'll receive plenty more detailed updates. We're also on Twitter here. Viva la Web 2.0.
--- Seymour Shubin's THE CAPTAIN is nearing release. It's a superb and heart-rending novel, from one of my favourite authors.

APRIL 2014
--- Here's Gil De Ray's brilliant mix of DOING TIME, a poem by your "Bank Blogger" Jeffrey Frye. It's read by Steve Hussy and you can click here to listen or download the track.
--- Jeffrey Frye is back in "The Hole" in USP Victorville. The hope is it's another transition period and then he'll be moved to a safer prison. We have plenty of blog entries ready for the next few months of The Bank Robber's Blog. And we'll keep you up-to-date with Jeff's progress.
--- Five star reviews are starting to show of ONE CRAZY DAY on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com, as well as DIRTY WORK on Amazon.co.uk. You like the books... please review 'em and spread the good words.

MARCH 2014
--- Jeffrey Frye's ONE CRAZY DAY is now available to buy via Amazon (USA), Amazon (UK), and the Murder Slim Press Paypal Shop. It's limited to 200 copies so get it while you still can.
--- Your Bank Blogger's second chapbook ONE CRAZY DAY is about to be released. Get a sneak peek of it here.
--- SAVAGE KICK #7 now entering production. Stay tuned for more information and previews.

FEBRUARY 2014
--- Four years after the last Zajack book (the hugely acclaimed GOD BLESS AMERICA), Mark SaFranko's fourth Zajack novel is now available on Murder Slim Press. It's our fifth colloboration with Mark, and this book about Max's suffering a series of jobs in his late teens and early twenties is the perfect bridge between GOD BLESS AMERICA and HATING OLIVIA. You can (and fucking should) buy the book via: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or the Murder Slim Press shop.
--- The new webpages for the upcoming Mark SaFranko book DIRTY WORK are now online. They also give you a first glimpse of the Richard Watts' great cover.

JANUARY 2014
--- WHY ME? is selling like hotcakes. It's our bestseller in some time and the 200 copies will sell out. Grab it while you still can through Murder Slim shop and through Amazon UK, Amazon USA and wherever else Amazon has infiltrated. Shit, we never knew you liked poetry so much, you saps.
--- Seymour Shubin (WHY ME?) has a bunch of additional poems appearing on Artvilla. Go on this page, and then search for Seymour Shubin. We ain't poetry fans at MSP, but we buck that trend for Messers Shubin, Fante and Bukowski.
--- Precisely three copies of SAVAGE KICK #2 and eleven copies of SAVAGE KICK #3 are still available. Once they're gone, they'll never be any more colour copies.
