Little bit of thread necromancy here:
Hi
We have decided to call it a day and to cease publication of Murky Depths. Unfortunately optimism and words of encouragement don’t pay the bills and sales have remained static for some time. We have hung on for as long as possible believing, as you have to in any business, that sales will improve, but there comes a time when you realise that even if they do you’re still not going to recoup your (not inconsiderable) investment over the last five years since the promo Issue #0 was released. The decision wasn’t taken lightly.
We will still continue to publish books and graphic novels and would like to keep your goodwill so hope you accept the following offer in the spirit that’s intended. We are not in a position to pay back the remaining subscription fees, so in lieu of the two remaining issues of your subscription we offer you any three back issues of Murky Depths or, alternatively, a Dead Girls T-shirt (worth £14.99) and a pack of Dead Girls badges (worth £1.99). We hope you consider this a fair offer.

Damnation. Another great publication gone
Shame
That is a tragedy, Terry is one of the nicest and most inspiring people you are likely to meet. A very great pity indeed.
Any chance of them putting out Roberts new one then?
I still can't find any way to get it
I have never subscribed and now am torn as to whether I should have and supported the magazine or should be glad, with this news, that I didn't
That is exactly as I feel about it, purchased a few but always hovered over that subscription button.
