Black Cat Weekly #2

THE CAT’S MEOW, by the Editor

THE CAT’S MEOW, by the EditorWelcome to the second issue of Black Cat Weekly, which has an official release date of September 12, 2021.

The Black Cat has been around for almost four years now as a web site, serving up a buffet of fine fiction to thousands of readers through bcmystery.com. Rather than continue to release all these novels and stories as individual ebooks, we have decided to bundle them up into a convenient weekly magazine…which is a lot more fun to work on! And you will be able to find it more easily under the Black Cat Weekly banner at your favorite ebook store. (Like your fiction in smaller chunks? Don’t worry, we will continue to release most of the contents as standalone ebooks, too.)

This time we have 10 works of fiction, four mystery shorts and a mystery novel, and four science fiction shorts and a fantasy novel.

There’s something here for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a fan of traditional mysteries, psychic detectives (in the case of Frank Lovell Nelson’s Carlton Clarke series, a telepathic detective, the second of 12 rare stories he published in 1908). Looking for more modern detection? We have that, too. And if your taste runs to the fantastic, we also have Arabian Nights fantasy (complete with genie), and some great modern and classic science fiction.

Happy reading!
