Sinossi

Our 96th issue introduces some new contributors to the magazine—Smita Harish Jain (with an original mystery, thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Naomi Hirahara (with a riveting reprint mystery, courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Also on the mystery front, we have a pair of British classics: a Sexton Blake detective story by Hal Meredith and a novel by William Le Queux.
 
When it comes to fantasy and science fiction, we’ve achieved an appealing balance. Adrian Cole and Henry S. Whitehead deliver two distinctly different nautically-themed stories. Also featured is Robert E. Howard’s eerie tale, “The Dream Snake.” (The Whitehead and Howard pieces originated from Weird Tales, and Cole’s work could easily have found a home within its pages.) Complementing the mix are science fiction stories by Arthur Leo Zagat and Russ Winterbotham, both prolific during the Golden Age.
 
Here’s the complete lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“An Honorable Choice,” by Smita Harish Jain [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Taken Trophy,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Off the 405,” by Naomi Hirahara [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“The Empty Tin,” by Hal Meredith [short story, Sexton Blake series]The Gamblers, by William Le Queux [novel]

    Trace the soft scuttle of unseen creatures and the faint scrape of claws behind damp, decaying walls.Uncover the tragic remnants of those who vanished within these rooms—muffled cries, torn scraps of journal pages, and desperate pleas etched in graffiti.Feel the oppressive weight of something pressing closer, as whispers coil through the studs and shadows shift beneath the wallpaper.Piece together fragments of an unsettling history—forgotten tenants, secret passages, and a malevolent force that feeds on fear itself. 
    Narrated with a tense, whisper-soft cadence and woven with subtle sound design—from the slow drip of leaks to the stifled gasp of trapped souls—Lurking in the Walls drags you into a world where every thump and sigh could be your last warning. Press play…and listen closely, because when something’s lurking in the walls, silence is never safe.

    "In the frozen ground of the Hürtgen Forest, Lieutenant Eric Granville digs a grave. A grave for yet another of his men lost to the brutality of World War II. He prays he will have to dig no more, for everyone knows the war is drawing to a close.  But as German lines bend, then break, the Allies gain access to vast tracts of territory, including areas believed to contain advanced military research projects where the Nazis desperately work on war-ending super weapons. Captain Louis Weiner of the OSS believes he knows the location of one such facility, deep in the ancient forest, where scientists are developing the world’s first night-vision weapon, code-named Vampir. All Weiner needs is an armed escort — Granville and his platoon get the job.  Granville is only too happy to get his guys off the front line, but he and Weiner are soon to find there is far more to the research project than expected. A simple milk run becomes a battle for survival as the woods come alive with a new kind of enemy, an enemy to all humanity.Featuring a special cameo appearance by Scott Sigler portraying Lt. Col. John Maberry, the battalion commanding officer.Adapted from the screenplay written by Scott Sigler with Adrian Picardi and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!Performed by Michael John Casey, Matthew Bassett, Terence Aselford, Danny Gavigan, Ian Putnam, Kay Eluvian, Rayner Gabiel, Rob McFadyen, Scott Sigler, Matthew Pauli, Robb Moreira, Michael Glenn, Richard Rohan, Bradley Smith, Eric Messner, Matthew Schleigh, and Nanette Savard."

    What was the ultimate fate of Harley Warren? 
    What inspired the vile paintings of Richard Upton Pickman? 
    Why was the abandoned house on Benefit Street left to rot? 
    Though Lovecraft was chiefly known for his Cthulhu Mythos stories, he penned many other tales that explore equally terrifying concepts, many involving strange, subterranean spaces, peopled by ghastly and otherworldly beings. 
    Nine of these tales of the underground are collected here, in THE HORROR THAT LURKS BENEATH. 
    The collection includes two dramatic readings: PICKMAN'S MODEL and DAGON.

    Remy is a tour guide for the notoriously haunted Carrow House. The old place is a haunt for the superstitious, but Remy hasn't seen any proof of the paranormal yet. So when she's asked to host guests for a week-long stay in order to research Carrow's phenomena, she hopes to finally experience some of the sightings that made the house famous. 
    At first, it's everything they hoped for. Then a storm moves in, cutting off their contact with the outside world, and things quickly take a sinister turn. Doors open on their own. Séances go disastrously wrong. Their spirit medium wanders through the house at night, seemingly in a trance. But it isn't until one of the guests dies under strange circumstances that Remy is forced to consider the possibility that the ghost of the house's original owner―a twisted serial killer―still walks the halls. 
    And by then it's too late to escape…
