Everyone is getting into the Halloween spirit this month! Our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffen, have found supernatural detective stories by Dave Zeltserman and Joseph D'Agnese to kick things off. And we have haunts and horrors (not to mention voodoo) from regular contributors Phyllis Ann Karr and Ron Miller (whose burlesque queen-turned-private eye Velda returns this issue). And C.S. Dines takes us to McNeil Station in Antarctica for some unexpected chills.

Of course, we have traditional tales, too, like the crime novel from G. Sidney Paternoster and the science fiction story by E.C. Tubb (who remains most famous for his long-running Dumarest of Terra space opera series). Lots of good stuff.
