SMFS list member Robert Lopresti reported that his short story, Shanks Gets Lost, is published in Black Cat Weekly #167. Published by Wildside Press, the issue is available here in digital format.
Website Description:
This issue, things lean a bit
heavier into science fiction and fantasy than usual. The action starts with the
return of Sir Lancelot (only 1,500 years late!) as he encounters the modern
world. We also have a pair of very different
time-travel tales from Philip E. High and Nelson S. Bond. E.C. Tubb’s story
hasn’t been reprinted since its first publication, so we’re delighted to
reintroduce it to the world. And topping things off is the conclusion of our
book serial by Edmund Glasby. But don’t despair—Glasby’s novel is the first of
a trilogy, and we begin serializing Book 2 in the next issue.
There’s
a lot happening on the mystery end of things, too. First, Acquiring Editors
Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman have lined up great tales from Eve Fisher and
R.T. Lawton. Plus we have originals from Robert Lopresti and Ron Miller (another
in his Velda P.I. series). And, of course, we have a brand new
solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles. Great fun!
Here’s
the complete lineup—
