Black Cat Weekly #193

This issue, we have 11 tales instead of our usual 10. Why? Because we felt like it! Or it’s a Mother’s Day special bonus. Whatever…just enjoy!

This is another issue jam-packed with original stories. Tom Larsen and Anna Scotti (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), as well as Hal Charles and Robert Lopresti, lead off the pack with new mysteries. And Grigory Lukin, Eric Rutter, E.E. King, and Andrew Akers contribute new science fiction and fantasy. Classic reprints from Marie Belloc Lowndes, Edgar Wallace, and John S. Glasby round out the issue. Lots of good stuff.

Here’s the complete lineup—
