Book excerpt: Everyone is getting into the Halloween spirit this month! Our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman, have found supernatural detective stories by Dave Zeltserman and Joseph D’Agnese to kick things off. And we have haunts and horrors (not to mention voodoo) from regular contributors Phyllis Ann Karr and Ron Miller (whose burlesque queen-turned-private eye, Velda, returns this issue). And C.S. Dines takes us to McNeil Station in Antarctica for some unexpected chills. I’ve even dug into my own trove of old stories for a supernatural slasher story. (If you don’t like knives and blood, you might want to skip this one.) Of course, we have traditional tales, too, like a crime novel from G. Sidney Paternoster and the science fiction story by E.C. Tubb (who remains most famous for his long-running Dumarest of Terra space opera series). Lots of good stuff. Here’s the complete lineup— SOLVE-IT-YOURSELF MYSTERY “The Treasure of Hanging Cross Ranch,” by Hal Charles A hidden treasure awaits, but only the sharpest mind can decipher the clues. Can you solve the mystery before Detective Hayes? NOVEL The Master Criminal, by G. Sidney Paternoster Guy Hora, raised as a master thief, finds his criminal philosophy shattered when he falls for Meriel Challys. As he struggles to break free from his past, dark secrets threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. STORIES “The Hanging Judge,” by Dave Zeltserman [Michael Bracken Presents] P.I. Mike Stone solves cases in a twisted version of 1998 Brooklyn—his personal hell. As zombies leap from rooftops and demons lurk, Stone revisits a deadly mystery involving a corrupt judge and mobsters. “The Sweatergeist,” by Joseph D’Agnese [Barb Goffman Presents] Detective Bleecker investigates an eccentric millionaire’s claim that his deceased wife returns every Wednesday to haunt her favorite sweater… “Who Purged the Thaumaturge?” by Ron Miller [P.I. Velda series] Velda dives into a world of sorcery and voodoo when an occult shop owner is murdered. She is quickly entangled in a dangerous mix of hoodoo, hexes, beatniks, witches, and one incredibly strong woman. “The Pearly Gates Motel,” by Phyllis Ann Karr Count Czernikowski checks into a decaying motel only to encounter Saxo Gates, the eccentric manager with deadly intentions. Secrets and supernatural forces collide in this chilling thriller. “The Man Who Collected Knives,” by John Gregory Betancourt Jason’s obsession with collecting blades becomes something far darker when an insidious, otherworldly creature begins to whisper in his ear. “McNeil Station,” by C.S. Dines Five tourists on an Antarctic cruise sneak off to explore an abandoned research station, where they discover the local wildlife isn’t as cute and cuddly as it seems. “Umbrella in the Sky,” by E.C. Tubb Mike Levine is tasked with saving the world by fixing a massive solar shield. But in the vastness of space, corruption, sabotage, and death loom as the real threats to humanity’s survival.

Download or read book Black Cat Weekly #166 written by Edmund Glasby and published by Black Cat Weekly. This book was released on 2024-11-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue, we begin a 6-week experiment, as we serialize all three volumes of an epic fantasy trilogy by Edmund Glasby. This week, we have the first half of Book 1, The Pale Galilean. As soon as this novel finishes, we’ll start the sequel. Let me know what you think of the idea. Of course, we also have our usual gourmet assortment of stories long and stories short. Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has an original Shanks tale from modern master Robert Lopresti, and Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken has an original ghostly mystery about Edgar Allan Poe from new author Jay Kinney. More mysteries from Tom Andes, Gary Earl Ross, and Kris Neville (best known as a science fiction writer) complete the sleuthing. On the more fantastic side of things, Holly Schofield has an assassin (posing as a midwife) rethinking her profession as she goes up against an alien and her newborn baby. Chad Gayle proves that monsters can give up their taste for eating humans. (Or can they?) And we have another Nelson Bond classic—a crossover story with space-opera hero Lancelot Biggs and 20th century genius, Horse-Sense Hank (both of whom have been featured in BCW in recent issues). Here’s the complete lineup— NOVEL SERIAL The Pale Galilean, by Edmund Glasby [Part 1 of 2] Brother Santiago finds himself in a strange fantasy world plagued by demonic creatures. SOLVE-IT-YOURSELF MYSTERY “The Case of the Purloined Pavilion,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] In the quiet town of Great Falls, a newly built pavilion vanishes overnight, sparking mystery and suspicion. Can you solve it before the detective? All the clues are there! SHORT STORIES “The Ghost of Poe,” by Jay Kinney [Michael Bracken Presents short story] On the eve of his graduation, Caleb Johnson discovers he’s the last student to reside in a room rumored to be haunted by Edgar Allan Poe’s ghost… “Shanks Has Reservations,” by Robert Lopresti [Barb Goffman Presents short story] A canceled conference registration and a stolen credit card tip Shanks off to a hidden crime—but can he stop it? “Didn’t Want To Say I Told You So,” by Tom Andes Marla learns her estranged daughter and her baby may be in danger. She tries a rescue—only to uncover dark secrets… “Split Wit,” by Gary Earl Ross Detective Maxine Travis investigates the brutal murder of a woman with a complex private life. Does her developmentally delayed brother hold the key? “Big Talk,” by Kris Neville Reporter Alf Sweeney navigates a tense night shift with photographer Gil Bratcher, whose bravado and bigotry clash with the grim realities they encounter. “A Better Question,” by Holly Schofield On an assignment to kill a Skrite leader, a top assassin for Queen Napir finds herself questioning her loyalties. “The Hidden Hunger of Grylock the Grotesque,” by Chad Gayle In a world where ancient appetites clash with new treaties, Bakshurr tries to save his old friend Grylock from his now-forbidden craving for human flesh… “The Scientific Pioneer Returns,” by Nelson S. Bond Spaceman Lancelot Biggs meets eccentric genius Horse-Sense Hank in this crossover story linking two vastly different series! Until next time, happy reading!

Book excerpt: The Black Cat web site has been around for almost four years now, serving up a weekly buffet of new and classic mysteries—and more recently science fiction—to thousands of readers each week. Rather than continue to release all these novels and stories as individual ebooks, we have decided to bundle them up into a convenient weekly magazine…which is a lot more fun to work on! So here is Black Cat Weekly #1, for your enjoyment pleasure. To make the first issue memorable, we are including a lot more content than usual—double the usual word count, in fact. This time we have no less than three complete novels and 7 short stories—and even a “true crime” feature by Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of Perry Mason! There’s something here for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a fan of traditional mysteries, psychic detectives (in the case of Frank Lovell Nelson’s story, a telepathic detective, the first of 12 stories featuring Carlton Clarke from 1908, all of which will run in the Black Cat’s pages). Looking for modern detection? We have that, too. And if your taste runs to the fantastic, we also have adventures across parallel worlds and well into the future. (And monsters. Did I mention monsters?) Included are: REMISSION, by Michael Bracken A KEY FOR REBECCA, by Hal Charles AUROVIA’S FAMOUS LODGE CASE, by Frank Lowell Nelson THE CASE OF THE KNOCKOUT BULLET, by Erle Stanley Gardner HAND IN GLOVE, by James Holding THE SKULL OF THE WALZING CLOWN, by Harry Stephen Keeler HAVER, by Brian Evenson A ZLOOR FOR YOUR TROUBLE, by Mack Reynolds VALLISNERIA MADNESS, by Ralph Milne Farley LAST CALL FOR DOOMSDAY! by S.

This week, our acquiring editors have outdone themselves—Michael Bracken has an original story by William Burton McCormick, “House of Tigers,” which was a Black Orchid Novella Award finalist. Though it didn’t win, it’s a great story. (Competition is fierce for this particular award, since it judged by Linda Landrigan, editor of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. I won the first Black Orchid for my story “Horse Pit,” and I haven’t dared enter since—I try to read all the winners, and they keep getting better and better. These days I probably wouldn’t stand a chance!) Barb Goffman also has an original, “It’s Not Tennis” by Shannon Taft, another good one. And Cynthia Ward has selected the modern classic “Whiter Teeth, Fresher Breath” by Tom Marcinko, which proves aliens do have it all. Even better oral hygiene! Plus we have a mystery novel by David Goodis (author of Dark Passage and Shoot the Piano Player), a space opera by E.E. “Doc” Smith, and science fiction from Arthur Leo Zagat and Stephen Marlowe!

Book excerpt: Black Cat Weekly #28 features another interview by acquiring editor Darrell Schweitzer—this time with Larry Niven.. It originally appeared in Thrust, a review and critical essay magazine published by Doug Fratz in the 1970s. As Darrell has observed, these old interviews fall “somewhere between oral history and paleontology.” It’s always interesting to compare where at author was in his career almost 50 years ago to where he is today.

And we have a second classic novel from Mildred Davis.

Book excerpt: Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #29—another fine issue. We have a historical interview with Poul Anderson (originally published in 1976).
