Short Fiction Various: Past Masters Ninety-Five, v1, 4 Sep 2022

[Pulpmeister]

Further short stories from magazines and newspapers, including a group of four by Richard Connell. His most famous story is "The Most Dangerous Game", which is in this issue, but he wrote in a wide variety of genres and the other three show his versatility. I have also included a newspaper interview with Mark Hellinger, celebrated broadway columnist and Hollywood movie producer, which was in all probability written by Hellinger himself when in Australia in 1944. He wrote, by his own count, some 6,000 short stories at the rate of one a day, for many years.

I can't open the EPUB-File. The MOBI-File works for me without any problems. Could you check it, please?

BTW, many thanks for your work. It is very very highly appreciated.

I don't have an epub specific device, just e-reader software on my PC, and a Kindle device which does not read epubs. The epub file works fine in my PC e-reader software. Perhaps another epub reader of the series might have the same problem with Past Masters 95 and can help identify it.

Thanks for the quick answer. It is the first time that Calibre on my PC cannot open your epub file. It is no problem for me as I can open the mobi file and convert it to epub.
