my monthly letter to Weird Tales, I feel I must write again. You see, I have managed to purchase a whole pile of old Weirds—and in the April, 1933, issue I have just finished Revelations in Black, by Carl Jacobi. What a story! I find it hard to think up suitable adjectives to praise it. Lots of vampire yarns have I read; some good, some bad, some lousy; but this absolutely is the best. Every situation in this tale was steeped in cold horror. Seldom does a yarn actually make me jump; I pride myself on being a veteran Weird Tales reader, but Revelations in Black had me gasping. Jacobi is a damn good author. What has happened to him lately? I can't help thinking that Revelations in Black is just about the best thing I have ever read in WT. To my mind it even tops the terror-filled works of H. P. L. A question, please. Of all the stories ever published in our mag, which one was absolutely the most popular? I'm willing to venture that Revelations isn't far from the lead!" [The most popular story ever printed in WT was The Woman of the Wood, by A. Merritt. Others at the top were The Outsider, by H. P. Lovecraft, When the Green Star Waned, by Nictzin Dyahlis, and Shambleau, by C. L. Moore.—The Editor.]
From a New Reader
Lee Schirck writes from Oklahoma City: "I am a comparatively new reader of your really grand magazine. (Also permanent.) All my friends know that I love Weird Tales too. Spawn and Giants in the Sky were your best August stories. I'll never forget these oooooooogy stories—The Rats in the Walls, Up Under the Roof, The Return of Hastur, and The White Rat. I could applaud for hours—but why? Just keep it up 'cause—I love Weird Tales."
Consistently High Standard
Wilson Lane writes from Wooster, Ohio: "For several years I have enjoyed reading Weird Tales, and have found the magazine to be of a consistently high and improving literary and artistic standard. I have especially liked the stories by Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, and the excellent art work of Virgil Finlay. Allow me to congratulate you NEED RELIEF From AGONY of
