Todd Robinson is right to call his e-zine Thuglit "Writing about wrongs."ThuglitTwo, gives us: "The Carriage Thieves" by Justin Porter, a yarn about a couple of turn-of-the-century knuckleheads who decide to steal a horse drawn bus to sell for scrap but make the mistake of rounding up the horses to move it from the glue factory -- on the other side of town; "Participatory Democracy" by Katherine Thomlinson, a grim yarn in which a volunteer for an up-and-coming politician gives him the kind of civics lesson they never dreamed up in the local high school;  "Spelled with a K" by Buster Willoughby, about a repo man who has a run-in with Satanists; and "The Name Between the Talons" by Patrick J. Lambe,  a tale about a guy who wants to be a police officer in the worst way -- and gets his wish.Thuglit is a worthy inheritor of the Pulp mantle. Now, if Todd could only give us great interior art to go with his 'zine's stories, we should all be happy as kings!
