SMFS list member Robert Lopresti’s short story, Late Bus, is
published in Black Cat Weekly #125. Published by Wildside Press, the issue is
available here in digital
format.
Website Description:
This
time, we have a rare mystery from Hulbert Footner (whose Madame Storey
mysteries I greatly enjoy). His novel Queen of Clubs in this
issue is a jazz-age mystery that—well, I don’t want to spoil the surprises.
Read it and see for yourself!
Also
on the mystery front, we have original tales by Andrew Welsh-Huggins and Robert
Lopresti (thanks to our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), a
classic crime story by David Goodis, and, of course, a solve-it-yourself
puzzler from Hal Charles.
On
the science fiction & fantasy side, we have a recent tale by Edward M.
Lerner, classic shorts from William C. Gault, Randall Garrett, and T.D. Hamm,
and a rare short novel from Ward Moore—most famous for his classics Greener
Than You Think and Bring the Jubilee. Moore’s Transient originally
appeared in Amazing Stories magazine in 1960 and languished
undiscovered for decades before a small press reprinted it in an anthology a
decade ago. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. (Keep an eye out for unicorns.)
