Two SMFS list members are featured this week in Black Cat Weekly #51. Published by Wildside Press, the issue is available here in digital format. The SMFS list members in the issue are:
William Burton McCormick with his novella, “House of
Tigers.” The story was a Black Orchid Novella Award finalist last year as noted here.
Shannon Tate with “It’s Not Tennis.”
Publisher Synopsis:
This week, our acquiring editors have outdone
themselves—Michael Bracken has an original story by William Burton McCormick,
“House of Tigers,” which was a Black Orchid Novella Award finalist. Though it
didn’t win, it’s a great story. (Competition is fierce for this particular
award, since it judged by Linda Landrigan, editor of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery
Magazine. I won the first Black Orchid for my story “Horse Pit,” and I haven’t
dared enter since—I try to read all the winners, and they keep getting better
and better. These days I probably wouldn’t stand a chance!) Barb Goffman also
has an original, “It’s Not Tennis” by Shannon Taft, another good one. And
Cynthia Ward has selected the modern classic “Whiter Teeth, Fresher Breath” by
Tom Marcinko, which proves aliens do have it all. Even better oral hygiene!
Plus we have a mystery novel by David Goodis (author of Dark Passage and Shoot
the Piano Player), a space opera by E.E. “Doc” Smith, and science fiction from
Arthur Leo Zagat and Stephen Marlowe! Here’s the complete lineup:
