The Black Cat was a Canadian magazine published by George Henderson's Memory Lane Publications, Toronto. Only a single issue was ever published, dated Winter 1970/1971. The magazine was named after an older US magazine, The Black Cat, but was not a continuation of it.[1]
The Black Cat contained reprinted fantasy and science fiction stories, including Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" and an extract from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.[1]
The magazine ceased publication after a single issue because Henderson's distributor went bankrupt after taking delivery of the first issue. It was 64 pages long, and priced at 50 cents.[1]
