| This issue, we have quite an interesting lineup. We have mysteries from returning favorites Veronica Leigh and Robert Lopresti (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), as well as a boxing crime story from classic author Jack Ritchie. Our mystery novel is by Izola Forester, a romantic suspense tale from the Golden Age. And of course we have a new solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles. On the science fiction front, we have an original tale from Damir Salkovic and a classic pulp novelet by Arthur Leo Zagat. For fantasy, we have a hauntingly beautiful story from Nina Kirki Hoffman, plus two dark fantasies from British authors John S. Glasby and his son, Edmund Glasby. Those who like to count things may have noticed an extra story this issue. Nina Hoffman’s contribution is very short, so we slipped in one more. Enjoy!
