This issue, we have an extended lineup, celebrating our 200th issue—2 novels, 1 novella, and 9 short stories…6 of which are originals! We’re also reducing the price to 99 cents (or the local equivalent) to help share the reading joy.

   It’s been a fun journey, and it’s all due to the help of our terrific editorial and production team: Acquiring Editors Barb Goffman, Michael Bracken, Paul Di Filippo, Darrell Schweitzer, and Cynthia M. Ward brought in some amazing authors over the years, and the editorial team handling submissions through the submissions portal at blackcatweekly.com (Thomas A. Easton, Ryan Hines, Vicki Erwin, Paula Messina, and Richard Prosch) have added hundreds more stories by writers new and old. We have published everything from first sales to thousand-somethingth sales (and yes, we’re looking at you, Michael Bracken!)

   Here’s the complete lineup—
