Synopsis

We have another great issue this week, with original mysteries from N.M. Cedeño (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Brian Rieselman, plus a terrific tale by David Dean (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Our classic mystery novel is The Winning Clue, by James Hay, Jr. (A note to the sensitive: it has some dialog in racial dialect, which was common in novels of the era.) And, of course, we have a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction and fantasy side, we start with an original tale by Jack Ritchie, best known for his crime stories. It was unpublished at the time of his death, and his estate has allowed us to publish it. We also have classics from Henry Slesar, Harlan Ellison, and a fantasy by E. Hoffmann Price. Our SF novel is by Jack Williamson.

    Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin. 
     
     
     
    Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve. 
     
     
     
    With the right image, values, and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent—the Virtual elite—and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water, or even humanity. 
     
     
     
    The system has no flaws. Until the elusive "Ten Percent Thief" steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world. 
     
     
     
    Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.

    Deep within a shadowed forest stands an ancient castle ruled by a powerful and merciless fairy—one who turns love into captivity and innocence into song. 
    Jorinda and Jorindel are young, devoted, and newly promised to one another when they wander too close to this cursed place. In a single, devastating moment, Jorinda is transformed into a nightingale and imprisoned among hundreds of enchanted birds, while Jorindel is left helpless, bound by magic and grief. 
    Driven by love and guided by a prophetic dream, Jorindel embarks on a quiet but determined quest to break the spell that stole his beloved away. Armed only with hope and a mysterious purple flower, he dares to return to the fairy’s domain—where ancient magic, dark enchantments, and redemption await. 
    One of the Brothers Grimm’s most haunting and romantic fairy tales, Jorinda and Jorindel weaves together themes of forbidden magic, steadfast devotion, and the triumph of love over cruelty. Narrated with elegance and emotional depth by Joanna Agee, this classic tale unfolds like a spell whispered at twilight—beautiful, eerie, and unforgettable.
