This issue, we have our usual eclectic mix. Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken has a new Ecuadoran story by Tom Larsen. We have more original shorts by Michael Haynes, Paula Messina, Simon Kewin, John Leahy, and Veronica Leigh. And classics by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett (who originally wrote as “Mrs. George Corbett”), Ray Cummings, and James H. Schmitz. And there’s a brand new solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles, too.
Feel free to read every word, or you can pick and choose. It’s up to you. There’s no right or wrong way to read Black Cat Weekly. One thing I can guarantee: you’ll find something here that’s to your taste.
Here’s the complete lineup—
