Sinossi

As our 88th issue was coming together, I noticed that we have a pair of jungle adventure novels—the first Bomba the Jungle Boy story, as well as Tarzan and the Lost Empire. So I’m going to bill it as a “Special Jungle Warrior Issue” and just add that it’s a fun one. #88 also includes two original mysteries (Mark Thielman, N.M. Cedeño) plus a bunch of other great modern and classic stories (Fritz Leiber! Day Keene! George O. Smith!). I would have gladly bought Anna Tambour’s story for Weird Tales when I was editing WT—don’t forget to check it out. (It falls somewhere between fantasy, crime, and Rod Serling’s the Twilight Zone.   And we are super happy to welcome back Acquiring Editor Cynthia Ward, who brings us the Walter Jon Williams tale this time. We look forward to many more selections from her.  Here’s the complete lineup:Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:

Cedeño [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“Dead Men Do Tell Tales,” by Day Keene [short story]Bomba the Jungle Boy, by Roy Rockwood [novel]

    Four lives knit together… 
    There's a little shop on Blossom Street in Seattle called A Good Yarn. You go there to buy knitting supplies and patterns -- and now it's offering a knitting class. The first lesson: how to knit a baby blanket. 
    For owner Lydia Hoffman, the shop represents her dream of beginning a new life free from the cancer that has ravaged her twice. A life that offers a chance at love ... and maybe marriage. 
    Jacqueline Donovan is stuck in a marriage that has dwindled into an arrangement of separate rooms and separate lives. She disapproves of the woman married to her only son, but if she knits a baby blanket, she can at least pretend to like her pregnant daughter-in-law. 
    For Carol Girard, the baby blanket brings a message of hope as she and her husband make a final attempt at in vitro pregnancy. 
    And tense-looking Alix Townsend -- that's Alix with an ""i"" -- is learning to knit her blanket for her court-ordered community service project. 
    Brought together by an age-old craft, these four women make unexpected discoveries -- about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to love, to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams.

    In this twisted tale of love, murder, and family secrets, nothing is ever as it seems. 
      
    Identical twin sisters Tokyo and India are as opposite as night and day. India is content with going to college and planning a family, while Tokyo runs a murder-for-hire business that has been extremely profitable for her. She has no patience for men or love in her life. She takes big risks to make money and always gets her target by any means necessary. 
      
    It is during one of those big risks that Tokyo meets the man who would unexpectedly sweep her off her feet. Python runs the city, unbeknownst to Tokyo, and after he saves her from an incident that almost costs her life, he wants her to himself … for both business and pleasure. Tokyo has never allowed herself to fall in love before, but Python’s boss swagger soon has her smitten with him. She breaks her rules and lets him into her heart, but loving him will come with severe consequences. 
      
    India has been with the same man for years, but since getting pregnant with his child, she has noticed that he is acting very suspiciously. Still wanting to have faith in her man, she ignores her intuition that something more is going on than what he’s telling her. When her sister finally reveals the truth about him to her, she refuses to believe it, and the tight bond the twins once shared is shattered. 
      
    Jacob was abandoned at birth by his mother. He comes to town on a crazy quest to find her and kill her and the siblings she decided to keep. Once he discovers the life that Python has, Jacob decides he wants to claim that for himself. Revenge is replaced with jealousy, and Jacob becomes obsessed and does everything in his power to become him, even if that means hurting people in the process. He finds unlikely help in India, and together they devise a plan to make them rich.

    "Animal Farm" by George Orwell: A Tale of Revolution, Power, and Betrayal 
    "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." 
    On a quiet farm, animals rebel against their human masters, dreaming of equality and freedom. Inspired by noble ideals, they establish a new order—but their revolution quickly devolves into a dark tale of power and corruption. Orwell’s Animal Farm is a sharp political allegory reflecting the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, showing how revolutions can be hijacked by those hungry for control. 
    As the pigs, led by Napoleon, seize power, the animals’ dream is distorted. Slogans like "Napoleon is always right" reveal how language and loyalty are weaponized to suppress dissent. Orwell illustrates how regimes rewrite history, betray founding principles, and mirror the very oppressors they replaced. 
    Beyond politics, Animal Farm explores ambition, loyalty, and the ease with which people are manipulated. The animals’ blind trust leads to betrayal, as the once-promising movement becomes indistinguishable from the tyranny it opposed. Orwell’s chilling maxim captures this hypocrisy: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." 
    A timeless classic, Animal Farm warns of the fragility of freedom and the corrupting force of power. Orwell’s allegory remains a powerful reminder to question authority and reflect on the true meaning of justice and equality.
