Black Cat Weekly #146

This time, we have original mysteries from Wil A. Emerson (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Billie Livingston, plus a great tale by Art Taylor (thanks to Acquiring editor Barb Goffman). Our mystery novel is by Golden Age British author G.D.H. Cole. Plus, of course, there’s a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.

On the science fiction and fantasy end, we have tales by Grand Master Robert Silverberg, plus classics by Stephen Marlowe, William P. Salton, and a novelet by P.F. Costello. A historical fantasy from Weird Tales by Otis Adelbert Kline and E. Hoffmann Price rounds things out.
