severe, obscene (as the conspiracy in The House of Golden Masks was termed), detailed or many, for us readers. Here's hoping for some more real good tales along these lines."

Philip Kowalski, of Syracuse, New York, writes to the Eyrie: "The Abysmal Invaders, by Edmond Hamilton, in my estimation was the best story in your June issue. I agree with A. V. Pershing that the best would be a weird . I have been on the lookout for a magazine that contains stories just such as you have in your magazine. I like the stories to be weird, horrible, filled with terror, uncanny, grotesque, in short, the tales that make you afraid to go to bed. I note with interest that forthcoming issues will contain stories by the master of terror, Gaston Leroux, author of The Phantom of the Opera, which made such a good motion picture.”

Mrs. Lilla Price Savino, of Portsmouth, Virginia, writes: "We have enjoyed the last few copies of W. T. immensely. That was a great serial, The Vengeance of the Dead, and there were some fine short stories too (I shivered over The Dunwich Horror), and we are all disappointed when Dr. de Grandin fails to appear. However, I agree with those who object to torture tales; give us occult mysteries, fourth dimensions, and ghost tales a-plenty, but spare us the torture."
