About this title

Synopsis

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.

Our cover artwork is "Obsession," by Mark Harchar. The accompanying story feature is “Bonnie Parker Sings The Blues” by Adele Gardner: in a parallel world, Bonnie & Clyde didn't die in a hail of bullets; they became jazz musicians. But the Bonnie who died in our reality is still greedy to be reunited with Clyde, and she fights to steal the living Clyde from Bonnie the jazz singer.

In “A Shift At The Bluebird” by Elizabeth Zelvin, Emerald Love, country music star and shapeshifter, drops in at the legendary Bluebird and gets more than the music: a duet with Nashville's next singing sensation, a stolen song, and murder.
In “70 X 7” by Dennis E. Hensley, a biblical revenge is fulfilled when a rogue minister justifies the murder of his brother by taking a New Testament phrase literarily.
In “Tree Dweller” by E. F. Schraeder, a quirky girl convinces her friends they have spectacular powers. After their belief takes flight, an accident claims a victim, and one detective follows a hunch that there's more going on beneath the surface.
In “Split Chain Stitch” by Steve Toase, moving to a new town is stressful. Discovering people who share a hobby can help, as can learning the local community's gossip. When Rachael moves the local knitting group is a lifesaver, and with the stitches come the stories.
“In Case Of Emergency” by M.B. Manteufel: Michael’s father always told him to be prepared. Michael’s take on that advice isn’t exactly what the Boy Scouts had in mind.
Presented in this issue, “The Key” by Nicole Fratrich, is the winning entry for Mystery Weekly Magazine’s Emerging Mystery Writer’s Scholarship 2018.
