Sinopse

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:
 
“License to Kill,” by Mark Thielman [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Burgled Bushels,” by Hal Charles. [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Short-Term Murder,” by N.M. Cedeño [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“Dead Men Do Tell Tales,” by Day Keene [short story]Bomba the Jungle Boy, by Roy Rockwood [novel]

    Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America's frontier - with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunmen working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man's life with a well-placed bullet.  
    The New York Times best-selling grand master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with seven classic Western tales of destiny and fatal decision...and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.

    They were sworn enemies ... or so she thought. 
    Indiana Nash 
    In high school, I hated my brother’s best friend. 
    The fact that he was also my boyfriend’s best friend further complicated things. 
    Angry and scowling was his default mode around me. 
    Even before the accident—our hate was mutual. 
    It’s been more than a decade since I’ve been home, since I’ve seen him. 
    But my new life in Los Angeles just imploded and I have nowhere else to go. 
    A long, exhausting bus ride brings me back to my small hometown of Rockhurst. 
    Jameson Wilde was one of the reasons I dreaded coming back home, so I can hardly believe my eyes when my trembling, cold body collapses into his strong, secure embrace. 
    He’s my nemesis. 
    The man who caused me so much pain. 
    Why does it feel so right in his arms? 
    Jameson Wilde 
    I spent my high school years always hovering in the background, angry and tortured as I watched my best friend date the girl I loved. 
    The pain of being near her and knowing I’d never have her nearly broke me. 
    Self-preservation led me to shut off all of my feelings completely, until three years ago when I got a phone call and a voice from the past told me I was a father. 
    My ex-girlfriend claimed she needed a “break” from parenting and dropped Rio off at my doorstep. 
    Since that moment, my entire life has revolved around my daughter. 
    She’s all that matters. 
    Then, out of the blue, Indi Nash—the only girl I’ve ever wanted—shows up at my doorstep. 
    She’s hurt and hungry and cold, and all the years I spent putting the pieces of my heart back together are shattered as she collapses into my arms. 
    She’s everything I’ve ever wanted … but she hates me.

    Were you born a boy or girl . . . a human, a shifter, or an angel? Are you mortal or immortal? Is there magic in your veins or not? 
     
     
     
    In life, you start off and get what you get—that's fate. Then you grab the reins and steer your path—that's free will. Fate versus free will . . . it's mind bendy. 
     
     
     
    But what if you want to change your stars? 
     
     
     
    When a gathering of reapers descends on Toronto, and a mass-death is pending, Clan Cumhaill fights through kidnappings, betrayal, and death to discover what will cause the disaster. Is it a vampire war, the theft of a powerful artifact, or an empowered icon gone rogue? 
     
     
     
    There's no way to know until the danger unfolds.

    Do Jewish Lives Matter? - A Play

    The play, “Do Jewish Lives Matter” arose out of the Crown Heights Riot in Brooklyn, a Pogrom where a Black boy was accidentally killed by a Hasidic driver with devastating results. James Baldwin, the famous Negro writer, as far back as 1948 wrote, “Georgia has the Negro as a target of hatred. Harlem has the Jew.” 
     In 1973 Rabbi Kahane wrote, “In no way should we refuse to see the danger to Jews that comes from Black hatred. It is of epidemic proportions.” And again in 1977, when addressing an audience, he said, “In Crown Heights, where poor Jews live side by side with Blacks and are regularly robbed, mugged, terrorized, a Black explosion against them is inevitable.”
