Sinopse

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.
 
Here’s the lineup:

“Toy Ploy” by Laird Long [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“A Robber’s Craft” by Hal Charles [solve-it-yourself mystery]“The Cost of Living”by Saul Golubcow [novelet]“The Barlow Boys” by John M. Floyd [Barb Goffman Presents short story]The Buckaroo of Blue Wells, by W. C. Tuttle [novel]

    The pines are watching, the shadows are creeping closer, and no one—not even the sheriff—is safe from the secrets of the Northwoods. 
     
     
     
    When Joanie Crea is found strangled on the grounds of the crumbling Grandgeorge estate, Sheriff Red Hammergren faces a chilling mystery as dark as the dense forest surrounding the crime scene. All eyes turn to Derek Grandgeorge, the reclusive heir with a penchant for wearing a green jacket—even in the sweltering Minnesota summer. 
     
     
     
    But soon, a second body surfaces—a victim found with Joanie's house key shoved into their mouth. 
     
     
     
    The gruesome discovery sends a shiver of dread through the tight-knit community. The key isn't just evidence—it's a macabre message from a killer who's growing bolder and more brazen with each passing day. As the oppressive summer heat bears down and the shadows deepen, Red glimpses unsettling flashes of green at the edge of her vision. With a cunning murderer on the loose and the town spiraling into panic, Red must unravel the connection between the victims . . . before she becomes the final piece in the killer's twisted game.
