About Black Cat Weekly #180

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. Romance is in the air with our special Valentine’s Day Spectacular! Of course, not all stories have romance, but we’ve done our best to weave a theme through many of the tales this issue. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the love and mayhem, as we present 7 great tales ranging from the here and now to the far future, 2 novels, and a solve-it-yourself mystery. As always, special thanks to our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman, who teased original tales from R.T. Lawton and Sherry Harris, and all our great contributors. And special thanks to art director Ron Miller, who selected our great Steve Hickman cover.
