Black Cat Weekly #218

This issue, we have an eclectic mix of mystery, science fiction, and fantasy. For our mystery novel, we have a Fergus Hume classic, a bestselling Victorian mystery novel, and one which set the stage for many detectives that followed (including Sherlock Holmes!). We also have original mysteries from John M. Floyd, Terena Elizabeth Bell, and Janice Law (a new Holmes Impersonator story).

On the fantasy and science fiction side of things, we have originals from Teel James Glenn, Keira Reynolds, and classics from Lester del Rey and Philip E. High. Fun stuff!

Here's the complete lineup-
