The Black Cat was a much imitated all-fiction magazine that used mostly amateur authors. It had no restrictions on genres or content other than to tell a good story. Editor Herman D. Umbstaetter had the novel idea of paying writers by merit rather than by word count, an idea that attracted a great deal of talent. The Black Cat published nothing but short stories. Word count was limited to around 5,000. No dialect, purple prose, or attempts at fancy writing permitted. All covers are by Nelly Littlehale Umbstaetter.
