Beschreibung

This issue, things lean a bit heavier into science fiction and fantasy than usual. The action starts with the return of Sir Galahad (only 1,500 years late!) as he encounters the modern world. We also have a pair of very different time-travel tales from Philip E. High and Nelson S. Bond. E.C. Tubb’s story hasn’t been reprinted since its first publication, so we’re delighted to reintroduce it to the world. And topping things off is the conclusion of our book serial by Edmund Glasby. But don’t despair—Glasby’s novel is the first of a trilogy, and we begin serializing Book 2 in the next issue.
 
There’s a lot happening on the mystery end of things, too. First, Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman have lined up great tales from Eve Fisher and R.T. Lawton. Plus we have originals from Robert Lopresti and Ron Miller (another in his Velda P.I. series). And, of course, we have a brand new solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles. Great fun!
 
Here’s the complete lineup—

    Winner of the 1977 South-East Arts Literature Prize, Kay Dick's They is an uncanny and prescient vision of a world hostile to beauty, emotion, and the individual.

    It's easy to feel forgettable. Nyx literally is, and the condition seems to be getting worse. Homeless and alone, she's at the end of her rope when she stumbles onto Earth Between, a nexus between worlds. The residents may be magical and alien, but they don’t have any problem remembering she exists. 
     
     
     
    Though she never intended to become the Guardian of a Waystation between worlds, the gig is pretty simple: act as glorified passport control for the ley lines that connect the planets. But when an illegal traveler slips through her Station, she's given an ultimatum: apprehend him or lose her new job—and the only place she's ever belonged. 
     
     
     
    Things start looking up when the illegal traveler turns himself in, until Nyx learns he actually came to Earth looking for her. He thinks his best friend—and Nyx's ex-boyfriend—hid the most powerful object in the universe with her: the Harvester of Worlds. Nyx is determined to sort out this intergalactic mess, even if she has to visit the most dangerous planet in the galaxy and rescue her ex-boyfriend to do it. 
     
     
     
    If she suspects she's been wearing the Harvester of Worlds as a necklace, what's the worst that could come from a power object with a name like that?

    "The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. 
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." 
    With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.
