Tobias Carroll is a writer and essayist, and the managing editor of Vol. 1 Brooklyn. He is the author of three books: Political Sign (Bloomsbury), part of the Object Lessons series; the story collection Transitory (Civil Coping Mechanisms) and the novel Reel (Rare Bird).
For two years in the 1990s, horror writer T.E.D. Klein edited the "newsmagazine of crime." Was Crime Beat ahead of its time or a sign of divisions to come?
