Black Cat Weekly #186

This issue, we have an assortment of goodies for the discerning reader, kicking off with 5 mysteries: an original by Steve Liskow (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a Sherlock Holmes pastiche by Mike Adamson (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and an original crime/detective story from John Patrick Nelson. Our mystery novel is a Golden Age classic by Virgil Markham. Plus, of course there’s a brand new solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.

On the science fiction and fantasy side, we have great originals by Ira Nayman and Lyle Hopwood, a science fiction/vampire tale from modern master Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and the second in the Space Hobo series from E.C. Tubb. Our novel is a magical golden age fantasy from Norman H. Matson. Definitely fun!

Here's the complete lineup:
