About this ebook

This issue, we have novels from golden age mystery author Annie Haynes and British master Edmund Glasby, plus mystery shorts by Gregory Meece and Art Taylor (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), as well as Marian McMahon Stanley, plus science fiction shorts from Tom Easton, E.C. Tubb, and Raymond Z. Gallun, and fantasy from Greg Chamberlin. Fun stuff. And, of course, there’s a new solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.

   Spring is in the air, so it’s time for big announcements. Alas, I don’t have any! Black Cat Weekly has found a nice rhythm and is chugging along nicely, and I hope you’re enjoying all it has to offer. As a general reminder, it wasn’t conceived as a magazine where you had to read every word. We have a variety of genres (and sub-genres) so you can pick and choose what appeals to you.

   Here’s the complete lineup—
