Description
At the cutting edge of crime fiction, Mystery Weekly Magazine presents original short stories by the world's best-known and emerging mystery writers.
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 our cover story, "Hundred-Year Flood" by C. Matthew Smith, massive flooding disinters bodies from a small town's cemeteries. In the wake of this horrific event, someone is leaving a trail of new bodies, and the local sheriff must race to figure out who -- or what -- is to blame.
"Skimming Joey Lemons" by Robin Yocum: After killing her mob-enforcer husband, Christina calls her father for help. Her old-fashioned dad uses a modern technology to extract revenge and keep mob boss Joey Lemons off her trail.
"Disciplining Temptress Fugit" by Paul A. Barra, asks who killed a rapacious groom at Saratoga Race Course? Could it have been the stallion he cared for?
"Three Cheers For Molly Sullivan" by John H. Dromey: Although highly unlikely to attempt a cartwheel, for fear of spilling the contents of her purse, Molly Sullivan refuses to be sidelined at a cheerleading camp. Her sleuthing skills are front and center.
In "Yelena Tried To Kill Me" by Trey Dowell, falling in love with a woman who's "too good to be true" sometimes comes with risks far greater than heartbreak.
"In Plain Sight" by J.R. Lindermuth: A library assistant intercedes when her supervisor tries to cheat the facility out of its due.
In "Actual Stop" by C.E. Albanese, the US Secret Service has a zero-fail mission. But what happens when an agent does fail?
"Vulgax9 On Earth" by Jared Schwartz is the story of an alien explorer who comes with a warning, only to find Earth's inhabitants are too paralyzed with fear to talk to her.
"Dear Miss Proudlove" by Matthew Fries: Harold French is not a pervert, just a man with a rash. It's comical, really, all just a big misunderstanding, and Harold can prove it.
"Last Words," A You-Solve-It mystery by C.I. Kemp: The usual mystery presents a victim and a number of suspects. Not a whodunnit this time: here, it is the victim who must be identified. The clock is ticking.
