August Weird Tales, and must congratulate you on another superb issue. WT seems to improve more each month. How do you do it? Of course I was glad to see the old type back; makes a much neater-looking page. I first became acquainted with WT with the September 1937 issue, and have not missed a copy since that time. All my copies are bound: and repose in a special section of my library. Your covers by Finlay are always good, and I remember one, the December 1937 cover, as the most beautiful I ever saw on any magazine. Now for the stories in the August issue. First, of course, is the concluding installment of Howard's Almuric. This story, in my opinion, is one of the greatest ever to appear in WT. Howard had the knack of vivid description and thrilling action that few authors can lay claim to. I really lived that yarn. What a tragedy the magic pen is still, to write no more. The House of the Three Corpses—another gem by Quinn. Return from Death by Bryan—a teal chiller. It fairly made my blood run cold to think of that man in the refrigerator. I can still remember vividly Bryan's thrilling tale, The Ho-Ho-Kam Terror, the first story I ever read in Weird Tales."

Charles H. Chandler writes from Wooster, Ohio: "Concerning the August issue of Weird Tales, congratulations on maintaining the high standards set in the last issue. First place among the stories goes to the Poe reprint, but if that doesn't count, call it a tie between Apprentice Magician and The Little Man. First of these was very refreshing; both well done. Almuric ends well. When will authors, F. B. Long in particular, get rid of the idea of creatures of totally alien races falling in love with each other? It's laughable. . . . Wellman's story, The Valley Was Still, deserves honorable mention."

E. Hoffmann Price writes from California: "P. Schuyler Miller's yarn, Spawn, is indeed amazing; his slightly eccentric style and arrangement perfectly suited to that story. I
