NOIR MECHANICS is published occasionally from Los Angeles, California,
a wholly owned subsidiary of some huge multi-national or other.
NOIR MECHANICS requires your contributions for its pages. Send prose,
close to 1500 words (copy-right it first!) with obligatory pseudonym and
fabulously phony bio, to the editors. Quickly! Next issue's theme: "Twisted
Legitimacy". Our editorial policy is: If it makes you feel all dark
inside, you're on the right track.
NOIR MECHANICS is ungrammatical. It should be MECHANICS NOIRE.We
know that. And don't care. Never mistake attitude for ignorance.
