Summary

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #44. This is an amazing issue, with quite the all-star lineup.
 
First off, private detective Frank Wolf and his grandson Joel return to our pages with a new short novel by Saul Golubcow, The Dorm Murder (published simultaneously with Golubcow’s collection, The Cost of Living and Other Mysteries). This is one of my favorite series in recent years, and I highly recommend you start with The Dorm Murder. You won’t be disappointed.
 
Black Cat’s acquiring editors have been busy, too—Michael Bracken, Barb Goffman, Cynthia Ward, and Darrell Schweitzer all have contributions this issue. Michael and Barb found great mysteries by Mary Dutta and Brendan Dubois, Cindy has a neo-classic science fiction tale by David Marusek, and Darrell has unearned a “paleo-interview” from 1988 with fantasist Nancy Springer. It’s fascinating.
 
And we have classics by Fritz Leiber, Robert Silverberg, George O. Smith, Henry Kuttner, and a Nick Carter mystery novel. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles (the writing team of Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet).

    ⛰️ Deep in the misty mountains, where cell service fades and the modern world seems a distant memory, stands Holmes Lodge—a place of rustic beauty, absolute privacy, and inexplicable dread. 
    When artist Emma and her skeptical husband Mark arrive for what should be a rejuvenating retreat, they discover they're the only guests. The proprietor, Mr. Holmes, welcomes them with unsettling politeness and wine that tastes like nothing they've ever experienced. 
    As night falls, the walls seem to whisper. Footsteps echo in empty hallways. Strange figures lurk at the forest's edge. And Emma begins to notice inconsistencies in the lodge's architecture—spaces that should exist, but don't. 
    When Emma discovers a yellowed floor plan hidden in their room, it confirms her growing suspicion: Holmes Lodge is not what it appears to be. But by then, it might already be too late. 
    Some secrets are buried deep. Some voices should remain unheard. Some doors were never meant to be opened. 🤐 
    And some who check into Holmes Lodge were never meant to leave. 🔥 
    A meticulously crafted tale of mounting dread and ancient horrors hiding in plain sight, THE LODGE will make you question every creak in the floorboards and every smile from a stranger. 
    Some accommodations offer much more than just a good night's sleep—they offer eternity. 💀

Then her luck seems to change when a mysterious figure identifying themself only as The Stranger contacts her with an offer she can't refuse: Put a pill in the new member's drink and, when he dies, she'll have enough money to fix her dog and her life. 
     
     
     
    Her target turns out to be Tony Fiore—Kim's bad boy ex-boyfriend from high school. Fifteen years have passed, and he now goes by Anthony Fuller. He's cleaned up, made tens of millions, and his gorgeous fiancée, twenty-two-year-old PJ Walsh, is on his arm.

With no one to trust and The Stranger to answer to, Kim must peel back the layers of deceit to reveal a deeply buried truth, more shocking than she could ever imagine . . .
