title: Cat Tales: Fantastic Feline Fiction
author: George Scithers
description: Former <i>Weird Tales</i> editor Scithers launches a planned series of cross-genre cat anthologies with a vow to avoid the clichd talking feline. Although the few reprintsby Lovecraft, Leiber and Baudelaireare classics, the original stories are the real reason to buy this volume. Standouts include K.D. Wentworths Cat Call, a charming cats-eye-view mystery, and Geoffrey Maloneys Not Another Black Cat Story, featuring a novel deal with the Devil, as well as darker tales, like The Eye of Ra by Jim Hines, a story of murder and revenge set in ancient Egypt, and Mary Turzillos short but effective science fiction story, Scout. Despite a few sour notes (most disappointingly in Nancy Springers by-the-numbers mystery American Curls) and twee moments, Scithers commendably unearths solid new material in a theme that has been milked extensively for decades. <i>(Dec.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  **CHAPTER ONE**
  
  The scent of hay, horses and hot-blooded male filled the sparsely furnished
  studio apartment above the barn. Jaime dug her toes into rough wood planks as
  Cody came up behind her. “I really can’t stay.”
  
  His fingers grazed her shoulder as he slipped her hair aside and nuzzled the
  sensitive skin below her ear. He dislodged her bra strap with an expert flick
  of one finger and fanned his hand over her stomach. Gentle pressure coaxed her
  backward unt
