Black Cat Weekly #48 EPUB

For this week's Black Cat Weekly, Michael Bracken has acquired an original mystery by Ashley-Ruth M. Bernier, Barb Goffman found a tale by SJ Rozan that will surely satisfy crime fans, and Cynthia Ward tracked down a Matthew Hughes story. Plus, for the sheer silliness of it all, there's a Mickey Spillane parody from 1954 (which manages to be both a mystery and fantasy...but wasn't everything of Spillane's?) and classics from R. Austin Freeman (a Dr Thorndyke story), a Nick Carter detective novel, and the first Skylark of Space novel by E.E. "Doc" Smith.
