âTis the season for tricks and treats, and boy do we have a lot of treats this timeâincluding three firsts for us. For our first first, this issue, we have a Featured AuthorâŚBritish horror writer Edmund Glasby. Of course, longtime BCW readers are already familiar with his work, but this issue, we have three original horror novelettes (more than 20,000 words of terror), plusâour second firstâa new interview with Ed in which he talks about his work and inspiration. Yes, weâve run interviews before, but they have always been reprints. Special thanks to Philip Harbottle for helping pull it all together for us.
And that third first? We have 10 original stories and features, making this issue the biggest and best Black Cat yet. The second part of Phyllis Ann Karrâs new science fiction novel, Eight Fluffy Gnomes. New mysteries from Bern Sy Moss and Anna Scotti. And new fantastic tales from Albert N. Katz and John B. Rosenman. Plus another brand new solve-it-yourself puzzler from the devious minds of Hal Charles. (âHalâ is the writing team of Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet, so definitely plural.)
Of course, weâve also gone deep into the vault for some classic reprints, tooâwith the first Alan Ford mystery from Carolyn Wells, a Sexton Blake mystery from Hal Meredith, a murder mystery from J.K. Leys, and a weird sea tale from Frank Aubrey.
Whatever you love to read, youâre bound to find it in these pages.
Hereâs the complete lineupâ
