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 'Taken for a Ride'-which qualifies as both a mysery and a fantasy story) and Barb Goffman (Michael Allan Mallory's 'Random Harvest').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.
