Best of “The Strand Magazine”: 25 Years of Twists, Turns, and Tales from the Modern Masters of Mystery and Fiction and The Special Raymond Chandler issue!
Raymond Chandler’s Unseen Story Has Been Published At Last
Step into the shadows with our newest issue of The Strand Magazine, featuring a revelation from the master of hardboiled fiction himself—Raymond Chandler. For the first time ever, his never-before-published “Nightmare” sees the light of day. Imagine Chandler, creator of Philip Marlowe, turning his sharp prose on himself—dreaming of death row, execution, and fate sealed in his own handwriting. It’s noir meets the surreal, paired with stunning full-page oil paintings by Jeffrey B. McKeever.
But that’s just the beginning…
Holmes & Watson return in Susan Knight’s “The Case of the Fatal Flowers.”
Matthew Sullivan delivers a haunting, surreal gem: “Howard’s Okay”
John M. Floyd twists a teenage prank into deadly suspense in“Reptiles”
Joseph Koenig chills with “No Doctor in the House.”
PLUS: Exclusive interviews with Anthony Horowitz (Moonflower Murders) and Peter James—Queen Camilla’s favorite crime novelist and the mind behind the Grace series.
And because no issue of The Strand is complete without it—you’ll find sharp, insightful reviews covering the very best in today’s mysteries, thrillers, and detective fiction
