Mystery Scene Magazine, founded in 1985, was published four times per year in a full-color glossy magazine format, usually between 68 and 76 pages long. It suspended print publication with the 2022 Winter Issue #174. You can read more about our final issue in "A Letter From Mystery Scene Editor Kate Stine on Our Final Issue."
This website has information about purchasing back issues but posts only very limited content from the print magazine itself. Most of the content on the website, including the blog and our monthly e-newsletter, is original and available online only.
Every issue of Mystery Scene Magazine is packed with lively articles, provocative author profiles, and hundreds of expert reviews. Readers love our in-depth interviews, including talks with Craig Johnson, Louise Penny, Michael Connelly, Sara Paretsky, and Lee Child. Mystery Scene's wide-ranging articles cover all things mysterious, including new novels and vintage mysteries, new and old films, TV and streaming series, audio books, and short stories—plus crosswords, jokes, quotes, and anecdotes.
The magazine is currently headquartered in New York City. Its editor-in-chief is Kate Stine.
