SMFS list member Sharyn Kolberg reported that her
short story, Sharyn Kolberg with The Gate, appears in Black Cat Weekly #165.
Published by Wildside Press, the issue is available here in digital format.
Publisher Description:
It’s our final Halloween issue of
the year—with lots of treats and only a few tricks. Headlining this issue is
Bram Stoker’s “lost” horror tale, “Gibbet Hill,” which a researcher recently
discovered in an Irish newspaper supplement from 1890. (It wasn’t listed in any
of Stoker’s bibliographies, and it created quite a stir among horror
aficionados.) I’ve very carefully edited it, correcting typos and a few dropped
words, and fully annotated it. I think you’ll enjoy it.
We
also have original tales from bestselling authors Donna Andrews (thanks to
Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman) and Sharyn Kolberg (thanks to Acquiring Editor
Michael Bracken), and one from newcomer Christopher Lawrence Froehlich, who
makes his Black Cat Weekly debut. Plus a pair of
modern classics from British masters John S. Glasby and E.C. Tubb, plus a
nautical thriller by Alan B. Le May—who is most famous as the author of the
classic Westerns The Searchers (1954)
and The
Unforgiven (1957).
Our
novels this issue are Allen Upward’s The Club of Masks—a rare
British mystery from the Golden Age—and E.H. Visiak’s pirate fantasy, The
Haunted Island.
Here’s
the complete lineup—
