And speaking of treats, our editors are already working on some special Halloween surprises for October. I know youâll be thoroughly spooked by some of them. Something to look forward to, as we approach my favorite holiday season. (Thereâs a reason we have a black cat for a mascot.)
 Our novel this issue is a mystery: Scarhaven Keep, by Golden Age British author J.S. Fletcher. Also in mysteries, we have an original from Nikki Knight (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman) and a terrific crime story by Brendan DuBois, who remains a mainstay of short mystery fiction. Of course, no issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself short from Hal Charles.
 Great stuff indeed.
