Synopsis

   Our 51st issue is another strong one one, with four of our acquiring editors finding tales for us. Michael Bracken has an original Bev Vincent mystery, and Barb Goffman has a winner from R.T. Lawton. Cynthia Ward turns the tables on fellow editor Michael Bracken and selects a haunted house story by him! And too-long-absent editor Paul Di Filippo has picked a powerful story by Sheree R. Thomas. Good stuff.
 
   As if that’s not enough (which it never is for the Black Cat!), we have gone back to the pulps for some historical mystery-adventure tales by Harold Lamb and Philip M. Fisher, and dived even deeper for a collection of mysteries by Dick Donovan called The Chronicles of Michael Danevitch of the Russian Secret Service.
 
   On the science fiction front, we have novellas by Arthur Leo Zagat and George O. Smith, plus Skylark Three, by E.E. “Doc” Smith.

    From all corners of the Known World, Maura, Borne, Halla, Whit, Fynn and Morgan must come together once more to strive against a sea of rising conflicts. The power struggle between Roth Nelvor and the lords of the Lower Realms rages on, while the Helgrins, the Albrenians, and the vaar of the Lost Lands all prepare to seize more power abroad. How the young defenders of the Isle choose to meet these growing hostilities wil determine the destiny of men, elves, and dragons alike. Victory is far from assured, and in the coming wars, not all can hope to survive. 
    The Wings of Dread, the final book in The Drinnglennin Chronicles, brings the saga to a dazzling conclusion. As the dark forces threatening this vividly rendered world pit ruthless ambition against the unmeasured courage of those who would thwart them, all are swept toward a dramatic climax none could have foretold.

    As the newly anointed king of the Underworld, I've worked hard to clean up the mess left behind by my predecessor. The realm is in relative peace at the moment, my main focus now on deciding the fate of recently departed souls. It's a tediously boring task, and honestly, one I despise doing. But just when I think I can't stand another moment of the monotony, one soul changes it all. 
     
     
     
    Nyssa McKnight earned her ticket to Hell. She made her choices and even at the prospect of eternal damnation, she doesn't seem to regret the actions that led her here. I can tell by her utter defiance that life has hardened her, a trait that has carried over to her in death. She should be begging me for mercy but instead calls me a "big old winged bat". I should toss her right into The Crimson River for her insolence but instead I think I'll keep her in servitude. 
     
     
     
    While I struggle to reconcile the intrigue—and attraction—I have for this human, I am forced to spend my days investigating rumors of an uprising in the Underworld. Unfortunately, my desire to keep Nyssa has provided a weak spot for the rebellious Dark Fae looking to gain control, one they're quick to act on. Now, with Nyssa in danger and my throne threatened, I will stop at nothing to restore order, even if it means letting her go.
