Um þessa rafbók

This issue features a pair of novels. The first, The Man in the Queue, by Josephine Tey, kicks off her Inspector Alan Grant series. The second, The Enchantress of World’s End, by Lin Carter, continues the epic far-future, sword-and-sorcery saga begun last issue.

   As for our mystery shorts, we have a great lineup. Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken has selected an original Ecuadoran-set thriller by Tom Larsen, and Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has uncovered a terrific tale by Janice Law, one of our favorite mystery writers. From Gordon Linzner—whose many claims to fame include purchasing a mock-epic poem the editor of BCW wrote when he was a mere lad of 15 (his first sale!) some 40-odd years ago—comes a murder mystery set in a bookstore. And, of course, we also have a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles.

   On the science fiction and fantasy end of things, we have an original reverse-causality tale by Sam W. Pisciotta, a demon-story by the ever-amazing Nina Kiriki Hoffman, a Weird Tales classic by Henry S. Whitehead, and a classic science fiction story by Philip E. High. Truly, something for every taste!

   Here’s the complete lineup—
