Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #38.
 
This issue, we have some real gems—starting with our featured story, Hope Mirrlees’s Lud-in-the-Mist. It’s a true classic of fantasy, acclaimed by critics for generations. Plus we have a Hashknife Hartley historical adventure novel (okay, you can call it a Western!) from W.C. Tuttle. Our acquiring editors have been busy, too. Michael Bracken snagged an original private eye tale from Laird Long, Barb Goffman found a terrific John M. Floyd story, and Cynthia Ward picked up a great science fiction story by Nisi Shawl and Michael Ehart.
 
And I’ve been busy picking out stories, too—just so you don’t think I’m resting on the magazine’s laurels. This issue has a classic-style detective yarn from new author Saul Golubcow (the first of of three stories we’ll be running in this series), plus classic science fiction from Lester del Rey, John W. Campbell Jr., and Otis Adelbert Kline.

    There were three names written down, but the fourth was unknown. A name so painful that it had been scored through. A black scar where once the truth had been spelled out. The Reverend’s role had been clear, but for what he had done, he would have to suffer…
    
     
    When a vicar is reported missing just days before Christmas and two churches are burned to the ground, the police know there is only one person that can help them solve the case: Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Dr Harrison Lane.
    
     
    An expert on ritualistic and religious crime profiling, Harrison uses tracking skills taught to him by his Native American stepfather to follow the trail of clergymen’s bodies displayed in sinister effigies that warp scenes from the New Testament.
    
     
    Amidst the bitter cold, Harrison pursues a killer who is seeking long-awaited vengeance against members of the church for a sin that has festered for decades. With a lead investigator who is less than co-operative and suspicion hurriedly thrown upon vulnerable members of the community, Harrison can’t shake the feeling that something deeper and darker, linked to his own family’s mysterious past, is hiding below the surface of this investigation.
    
     
    Can Harrison solve these murders before the killer claims their next victim? And does that victim even deserve to be saved?
    
     
    An addictive crime thriller, perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Rachel Abbott and Angela Marsons.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Born in the crushing poverty of Valparaíso, Isabella "La Víbora" Velasco clawed her way to the bloody pinnacle of the international cocaine trade. From the violent streets of Nueva Esperanza to the sun-drenched, bullet-riddled avenues of Costa del Sol, she built an empire on innovation, ruthlessness, and a mountain of corpses. They called her La Madrina, the Godmother, a woman who commanded loyalty through fear and eliminated rivals with chilling precision, pioneering terrifying tactics like the motorcycle assassin and the infamous "Sol Marina Mall Mayhem." 
    But as her power grew, so did her paranoia, her cruelty touching even her own family, turning her sons into reluctant heirs of a cursed dynasty. Hunted by Colombian cartels, pursued by relentless US federal agents like Frank Miller, and betrayed from within, Isabella's reign of terror could not last forever. "Queen of the Sun Coast" is a shocking, fictionalized saga of ambition, power, and the devastating price of a life steeped in violence, inspired by one of history's most notorious female crime lords.
