Black Cat Weekly #191

This issue is packed with goodies.

Our original tales are from Andrew Welsh-Huggins (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, Bud Pharo, and Phyllis Ann Karr. And we also have an original solve-it-yourself mystery from the fiendish imaginations of Hal Charles (the writing team of Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet). To balance things out, we also have modern classics from Elizabeth Elwood (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman) and Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and a rare reprint from British master E.C. Tubb. Our mystery novella is by British master Edgar Wallace.

Here’s the complete lineup—
