Black Cat Weekly #23

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #23. Lots of good stuff this time-highlighted by a novel from Golden Age mystery author Rufus King, Duenna for a Murder. Plus a few novellas, and lots of great short stories, a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles, and great selections from Michael Bracken (Laird Long's "e;Taken for a Ride"e;-which qualifies as both a mysery and a fantasy story) and Barb Goffman (Michael Allan Mallory's "e;Random Harvest"e;).On the science fiction side, the Cynthia Ward Presents story is missing this week, but that s only because we have a fantastic alternate-history story from Cynthia herself! Check out her On Stony Ground. Plus an epic disaster story from Allan Danzig, a fantasy from Unknown by Lester del Rey and James H. Beard, a space-based tale by Richard Wilson, and a miniature military SF story from Larry Tritten.Here s the complete lineup:Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure: Soul Searching, by Laird Long [short story] A Fine Kettle of Fish, by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] Dead Wrong, by Frank Kane [short story] Taken for a Ride, by Hulbert Footner [short novel] Random Harvest, by Michael Allan Mallory [Barb Goffman Presents short story]Duenna to a Murder, by Rufus King [novel]Science Fiction & Fantasy: On Stony Ground, by Cynthia Ward [short story] Corrigan s Homunculi, by Larry Tritten [short story] Carillon of Skulls, by Lester del Rey and James H.
