| Novel |
Arthur leaves town to change his image, and another spot of harmless fun relieves his dull sojourn. But once he’s back in Nice with a brand-new persona, he can get down to some real detective work — until the spirits of the Sixties come sirening him again. Michael E. Lloyd, Missing Emilie |
| Serial | James and Kevin become increasingly enmeshed in the history of the Bruce house and find themselves likely to replay, in their own way, its sinister story: Edward Reubens, The Bruce Mansion, part 3; conclusion |
| Short Stories |
Academics and scientists who talk fancy should have all the safety angles covered in their experiments, wouldn’t you think? Not so fast there... Charles C. Cole, The Koenig Incident. New contributor Darshes A. DiPesa shows that embalming is better witnessed than experienced: The Calling of Cadence Saenger, part 1; conclusion. Television news has a breathless quality relieved only by advertising. What if we saw what really matters? James Graham, The Jubilee Transmissions. Separation is painful, but a transition may be eased, provided the process is understood: Margaret Karmazin, Watch Over Me, part 1; conclusion. |
