Locked in the Vault for 15 Years… and Worth the Wait
This issue of The Strand has been aging like fine wine (or maybe like that old cheese in the back of your fridge—except much more delightful). After 15 years in the vault, we’re finally cracking it open and it does not disappoint:
-
Michael Connelly delivers a rare Harry Bosch short story, Blue on Black, featuring our favorite jazz-loving detective doing what he does best—solving murders and staring meaningfully into the middle distance.
-
Graham Greene’s serialized noir The Empty Chair continues with Part 3—yes, that’s right, we’re still going.
-
A brooding new Sherlock Holmes tale (Room 31) by M.J. Trow? Check.
-
Stories by John M. Floyd, James Grippando, plus not one but two interviews with heavy-hitters Lisa Scottoline and John Lescroart.
-
And for the mystery history buffs, an ode to Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn and Chee in our “Great Detectives” series.
It’s packed. It’s polished. It’s a little overdue. But hey—if Indiana Jones taught us anything, it’s that sometimes the best treasures are hidden in vaults.
If you’re looking for more previously unpublished short stories by other legends like Rod Serling, be sure to check out these issues with stories by Shirley Jackson, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Raymond Chandler, H.G. Wells, Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, Tennessee Williams, Louisa May Alcott, John Steinbeck, and Ray Bradbury.
