This issue, we have original tales by Bruce W. Most, Hal Charles (two of them!), Amir Natan, G.T. Eggertsson, and Donna J. W. Munro. We also have a rare historical mystery/adventure set in the old west (okay, maybe you can call it a Western!) in a change-of-pace novel by classic science fiction author Murray Leinster. Plus, we have classic science fiction by Lester del Rey, a classic mystery from Hal Meredith (featuring Sherlock Holmes rival Sexton Blake), and a classic Weird Tales fantasy Ralph Milne Farley. Lots of great reading.
Here’s the complete lineup—
