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).

    The Dancing Floor by John Buchan is a haunting blend of mystery, mythology, and romance. The story follows Sir Edward Leithen, who encounters Vernon Milburne, a young man guarding a secret tied to the enigmatic island of Plakos in Greece. As Leithen investigates, he uncovers a tale of ancient rituals, forbidden love, and a cursed family haunted by the legend of Persephone. The titular "dancing floor" refers to a sacred space central to the island’s eerie traditions. Buchan weaves themes of cultural clash, spiritual awakening, and the thin veil between the rational and supernatural. Rich with atmospheric detail and suspense, the novel explores the tension between modernity and primal forces. A mesmerizing mix of adventure and mysticism, The Dancing Floor captivates readers with its exploration of fate, faith, and the enduring power of myth.
