Synopsis

We’ve assembled an amazing selection of stories for readers who love variety. First up, five mystery stories: an original set in the glamorous world of film by Elizabeth Elwood (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a gripping pulp thriller by Richard Deming, a moonshine-drenched tale from David Heska Wanbli Weiden (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and a dark crime story by Donald A. Ranard. And, of course, no issue would be complete without a new solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
 
We also have a heavier than usual focus on fantasy, with dark tales by Gary Battershell and John S. Glasby, a comedy-adventure in Monty Python style from Henry Herz, and a legendary fantasy novel by E.R. Eddison. We haven’t completely forgotten science fiction lovers, though. Here’s the next adventure of E.C. Tubb’s “Space Hobo”—this time on Venus.

    Viv just wants work—any work. Well, not quite any work. But she's desperate enough to accept a job offer as personal assistant to Jasper Renner—the rich and mysterious owner of the Renner Tea House—even though odd things happen whenever he's around. 
     
     
     
    She expects to deal with rich, entitled Melbournians and a full business schedule. Instead, Viv finds herself following Jasper into a strange new world where a murderous madman has been incarcerated in a secret floor at the old Kew Asylum that may or may not exist in the human world as she knows it. 
     
     
     
    Reality is just as worryingly soft at the old tea house itself, which hides a few too many not-quite-human secrets. In one of the downstairs rooms, there's a little girl who has been a little girl for a suspiciously long time; in the uppermost floor, there are a few windows that show a view that doesn't exist in Melbourne. And then there are the giant cephalopod tentacles that appear from nowhere and disappear again, seemingly at will . . .  
     
     
     
    Now Viv isn't sure if she's going mad, or if the world itself has gone mad and the lunatic in Kew Asylum is the only sane person she knows.

    Magic, murder, and a whole lot of coffee—welcome to Ravenstone! 
     
    Declan Hawthorne is just your average caffeine-addicted guy—until a visit to his grandfather reveals: magic is real, witches exist, and apparently, Declan's one of them. 
     
    Now he's getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival. 
     
    His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can't shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can't be Alpha, but that doesn't stop him from protecting everyone else . . . including one reckless new witch who doesn't know when to quit. 
     
    Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they'll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic. 
     
    Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.
