We have two great novels this issue: William Le Queux’s The Rat Trap and Achmed Abdullah’s The Man on Horseback. Le Queux—often called the “Master of Mystery”—excels in this 1928 thriller. The story follows Frank Aylmer as he is drawn into a high-stakes web of international swindlers and murder—classic vintage espionage and suspense. And I cannot say enough great things about Achmed Abdullah, who is one of my favorite pul...

This issue, we seem to have developed an Occult Detective theme. In my browsing, I stumbled upon a three-story series by L.T. Meade & Robert Eustace from 1902 that I had never read before. Inspired by this tale of a palmist-detective and her brother, I sat down and wrote a 10,000-word followup and decided to run it here first, along with the story that launched their adventures, “The Dead Hand.” I’m sure you’ll enjoy the classic first story in the series, and I hope you’ll...

A "brilliant" examination of American complacency and how it puts the nation's—and the world's—security at risk ( The Wall Street Journal).The ancient Greeks hard-wired a tragic sensibility into their culture. By looking disaster squarely in the face, by understanding just how badly things could spiral out of control, they sought to create a communal sense of responsibility and courage—to spur citizens and their leaders to take the difficult actions necessa...
