Beschreibung

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly.
 
On the mystery side of things, we have original tales by Veronica Leigh (one that looks to be the start of a new series) and Richard A. McMahon (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken). Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has selected a great tale by Anna Scotti, and our novel is The Talleyrand Maxim, by Golden Age author J.S. Fletcher. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction and fantasy side, our lead item is a new feature—a portfolio by artist Ron Miller. Ron has joined our staff as art director and will be providing covers from his vast body of work. But I wanted our readers to know how great an artist he is, so here is a collection of some of his best covers. As for the fiction, we have a monster-in-the-mist story by British master John Glasby, plus an all-star lineup of classic authors: Frank Belknap Long, Donald A. Wollheim, Henry Slesar, and Philip José Farmer. Great stuff.
 
Here’s the complete lineup—

    Atop the obsidian throne of Nocturne, where shadows coil like loyal serpents and vampire lords rule with the chill of forgotten tombs, Lord Valerian encounters Elara, a dawn-born healer whose golden rays pierce the veil of eternal night. His tender surrender to her light, born in a clandestine healing rite amid crumbling spires, awakens a vulnerability that could topple his shadowy empire or redeem it in twilight harmony. As they prowl mist-choked crypts and dawn-lit battlements, hunted by puritan slayers and rival bloodlords, Valerian's ancient curse clashes with Elara's radiant elixirs, unveiling a vampiric prophecy of balanced dusk. When a solar eclipse ritual threatens to burn the throne's foundations, they must blend shadow and dawn to forge a new covenant. In the depths of obsidian shadows, where every surrender whispers redemption and every touch defies the grave, their love becomes the light that tempers eternal night.

    Book Six of the Greymantle Chronicles 
     
     
     
    Explore the mysteries of magic and the supernatural on Earth and how it ties in with the world of Greymantle. Vampire's Heir differs in tone from the other Greymantle books but remains part of the greater story. 
     
     
     
    Continue the journey as Daniel Fox, a simple IT guy, gets pulled into the dark underworld of Earth's magical secrets when an ancient artifact injects him with the original vampire's blood and forces him to survive at all costs. Given abilities and gifts beyond those of modern vampires, he must hide his capabilities if he wants to survive. Vampires will want to kill him for the powerful blood in his veins. Worse, the Mages would consider his abilities "blood magic," the greatest crime of all, the punishment for which would leave him begging for a quick death. 
     
     
     
    Not that I had any desire to die again. "Once was enough, thank you!" I couldn't believe it happened in Vegas, of all places! But at least that would allow me to gamble my future on a risky bet that could pay off big . . . or lead to my doom. "I've died once today already; surely I'm owed a little luck!"

    All Fara wants is to earn enough tips to pay the bills, somehow learn to stand up for herself, and eat a good cheeseburger. What she gets is a federal agent who is convinced she is hiding a dangerous device in her tiny apartment; and a new and unexplainable ability that she really could do without. 
    All Blu wants is to restore democracy to her world, preferably without dying in the process. What she gets is the unwanted attention of two of the most lethal leaders of Jurisdiction; one who wants nothing more than to kill her, and the other…well…it’s complicated. 
    Neither woman had ‘run for my life’ on their to-do list, but you don’t always get what you want.
