Sinossi

Our 64th issue is a bit of a celebration—our American holiday, Thanksgiving, is nearly upon us, so we have a couple of other seasonally appropriate stories which I hope you will enjoy. (I trust our international readers will enjoy them as much as we do here.)
 
Our acquiring editors have been busy. Michael Bracken has an original tale by Andrew Welsh-Huggins, and Barb Goffman has a turkey tale from modern master John M. Floyd. Cynthia Ward is off again this week, but she will have more for us shortly.
 
Not enough? Well, we have gone back to the pulps for stories by Alfred Bester, George O. Smith, and Arthur J. Burks. Plus a novel by mystery superstar Mary Roberts Rinehart. Plus a long-lost fantasy by British author Sydney J. Bounds, which appears here for the first time. And another long-unseen story by the late and much-missed Larry Tritten.
 
Here’s this issue’s lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“Dumbass Is Dumbass,” by Andrew Welsh-Huggins [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Loser Takes All,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “Button’s and Bo’s,” by John M. Floyd [short story] “Thubway Tham’s Thanksgiving Dinner,” by Johnston McCulley [short story] “The Adventure of the Coffee-Pot,” by Hal Meredeth [short story] The Red Lamp, by Mary Roberts Rinehart [novel]

    The acclaimed historical mystery series A Dickens of a Crime continues with a reimagining of Charles Dickens's classic Oliver Twist, filled with murder, mystery, and a young Dickens himself as the amateur sleuth. In other words, "Please, can we have some more!" 
     
     
      
    Harrow-on-the-Hill, March 1836: In a sense, orphans Ollie, John, and Arthur have always been treasure hunters. The mudlarks have gone from a hardscrabble life scavenging the banks of the Thames for bits and bobs to becoming students at a boarding school outside of London, thanks to the kind and generous intercession of Charles Dickens. But now they're missing—as is, apparently, a treasure map. 
     
     
      
    When Charles arrives at the school, he's hit with another twist—the servant girl who was allegedly in possession of the map has been strangled in the icehouse. Unbeknownst to them on their spirited adventure, his young friends may be in mortal danger. Now Charles and his fiancée Kate Hogarth, who has come to join him in the search for the runaways, must artfully dodge false leads and red herrings to find the boys and the map—before X marks the spot of their graves . . .
