The stories we feature in our monthly issues span every imaginable subgenre, including cozy, police procedural, noir, whodunit, supernatural, hardboiled, humor, and historical mysteries. Evocative writing and a compelling story are the only certainty.

Get ready to be surprised, challenged, and entertained--whether you enjoy the style of the Golden Age of mystery (e.g., Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle), the glorious pulp digests of the early twentieth century (e.g., Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler), or contemporary masters of mystery.

★ In this issue ★

✓ In our cover story, “Gone To Weave By Steam” by Kelsey Hutton, Lady Winthrope is hosting the latest society dinner, and her beleaguered cook, Alice, has to feed surprise guests and still find time to sneak away to see her son—until the Home Secretary keels over dead before the marzipan tower is even served.

✓“Bystander Intervention” by Jackie Sherbow is a somewhat-satirical story critiquing contemporary organizing/activism spaces, about a young woman seeking strange revenge and perhaps self worth after being harassed.

✓ In “Concrete” by George Guthridge a cuckold concrete contractor dumps concrete onto his neighbor's model railroad—a criminal act that uncovers two serial killers.

✓ “Tough Nuts” by Melodie Desmond: When two out-of-town Toronto cops stop for dinner in an Italian bistro, they don't count on being witness to murder! Hijinks ensue when it turns out reluctant mob Goddaughter Gina Gallo and her kooky cousin Nico are at the next table.

✓“Road Trip” by Marcelle Dub�: Driving a cold northern highway in an effort to reach her daughter who is in labor, Cass comes across a young woman running from her abusive boyfriend.

✓In “My Dead-End Job” by Mark Thielman the proof-reader at a headstone company investigates the death of a client.

✓ In “Murder For Sale” by Hunter Liguore a couple attempt to buy a house amid a crime scene.

✓ “The Sweet Couple Next Door” by Edward Lodi: Peg and Joe Donavon—such a sweet couple—moved in next door to Sarah Fernandes and proceeded to wreck her life by performing unsolicited favors. And as all the world knows, no good deed goes unpunished.

✓ “The Green Burglar,” a You-Solve-It By John H. Dromey: Hopping on the bandwagon while it’s moving can be tricky. What will happen if a ne’er-do-well crook is inspired by the zeitgeist to change his modus operandi?
