Sinopse

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]

    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is a timeless American classic that weaves together folklore, superstition, and suspense in the hauntingly mysterious town of Sleepy Hollow. Set in a quiet, eerie village nestled in the Hudson Valley, this story follows the adventures of the superstitious schoolteacher Ichabod Crane. Ichabod, a lanky and awkward figure, is captivated by the ghostly tales of the town, particularly the legend of the Headless Horseman—a spectral figure said to roam the woods at night in search of his lost head. 
    As Ichabod competes for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, he finds himself in rivalry with the brash and strong Brom Bones. When tensions mount, Ichabod’s path crosses with the fabled ghost during a fateful ride home on a dark, foggy night. Is it merely a prank by his rival, or is the Headless Horseman more than just a legend? The story’s suspense builds to a spine-tingling climax that has fascinated readers for generations. 
    Rich in atmosphere and filled with vivid descriptions of the autumnal landscape, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a perfect tale for those who love classic American literature, ghost stories, and Halloween thrills. This audiobook version captures the eerie charm and haunting mood of Irving’s tale, making it an ideal companion for a crisp, moonlit night.

    My Own True Ghost Story

    In My Own True Ghost Story, Rudyard Kipling delivers a hauntingly humorous tale set in the shadowy outposts of British India—where the rational mind meets the inexplicable. When a weary English traveler spends the night in a decrepit dâk-bungalow, the howling wind, flickering candles, and creaking walls seem to come alive. Then comes the unmistakable sound of a billiard game—played in a room far too small to hold a table, and by players who no longer exist. 
    Kipling’s mastery of tone—balancing wit, irony, and eerie suspense—makes this one of his most memorable supernatural stories. A blend of colonial realism and gothic unease, My Own True Ghost Story reminds us that even the most skeptical traveler may find himself haunted when logic and legend collide. 
    Narrated with crisp wit and quiet tension by Michael Lyons, this performance captures both the humor and horror of Kipling’s classic ghost tale.
