Among the gems of the next few issues are:
THE ISLE OF MISSING SHIPS, By Seabury Quinn
A complete novelette about Jules de Grandin-a tale of mystery and terror, a giant octopus, Malay pirates, and a beautiful Jewess-a goose-flesh story of cumulative horror.
A MESSAGE FROM SPACE, By J. Schlossel
A story of giant twin stars, of an attempt made to whirl a planet away from a dark sun into the light of a blazing star-a stupendous radio tale of cosmic space, by the author of "Invaders From Outside."
A SUITOR FROM THE SHADES, By Greye La Spina
A complete novelette by the author of "The Gargoyle"-the story of a jealous lover who reached back from the grave to blight the happiness of his sweetheart, using the life forces of a frail girl to materialize himself.
THE DEVIL-RAY, By Joel Martin Nichols, Jr.
A purple beam of light shot from the clouds and devastated the countryside, bringing instant death to whatever it touched. A two-part serial of eery thrills.
A DREAM OF ARMAGEDDON, By H. G. Wells
The great English novelist paints a picture of vast armies struggling in the air and on the earth, and dreadful birds that fight and tear.
THE DEVIL'S GRAVEYARD, By G. G. Pendarves
Giles the Thruster comes back from the Pit to fulfil an ancient curse, accompanied by the Four Ancients and Gaffarel the Mighty.
LOCHINVAR LODGE, By Clyde Burt Clason
In the Rocky Mountains near Denver, two men and a girl come to death-grips with the dread Thing in the castle. A tale replete with horror and mystery.
