SMFS list member Kaye George’s short story, Discovery, appears in Black Cat Weekly #58 out today. Published by Wildside Press, the read is available in digital format here.
Synopsis:
Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #58.
This issue kicks off our Halloween celebrations with a
holiday-inspired tale. An incomplete draft of “Had a Wife...” was found in
Janet Fox’s papers following her death, and I completed it. I hope you enjoy
it. Keeping up the fantasy theme, we have a powerful tale by Craig Laurance
Gidney inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell (selected by our acquiring editor
Cynthia Ward). Our other acquiring editors have been busy, too—Michael Bracken
presents an original mystery by the talented Kaye George (in which an ancient
cave painting holds a clue to a murder), and Barb Goffman presents a tale by
Sherry Harris, in which Stew Davis finds himself walking a dusty road in Who
Knows Where, Wyoming after his car is stolen.
On the mystery front, we have our ever-puzzle solve-it-yourself
story from Hal Charles, plus a pair of historical novels—one by Frank C.
Robertson (it’s a mystery-western) and one by John T. McIntyre (set near the
turn of the 20th century in New York City).
For our fantasy and science fiction readers, we have
the first Darby O’Gill story (most famously filmed by Walt Disney), plus a pair
of vintage pulp novellas by Fletcher Pratt and Murray Leinster. Fun stuff!.
