Attracted by its cover I purchased it—blessed be the day! My favorite author is Seabury Quinn. His Jules de Grandin stories are wonderful. Is there any chance of his putting them into book form? His House of Golden Masks is the best combination of horror and torture I have read. De Grandin's quaint sayings and actions relieve tension. How about a bigger and better Eyrie?"

"Give us more revenge and reincarnation stories, as they are my favorites," writes Mrs. J. F. Lovejoy, of Oklahoma City, and adds: "I have only missed one copy of your magazine since the first issue, and that was when I was ill with pneumonia."

"Half of your stories are great and they live up to their name," writes John Harris, of Newark, New Jersey, "but some of those ghost stories where the hero uses a silver bullet to send some spirit or ghost back to the place it came from are really nothing to rave about. Why can't the authors use the same means of destroying said spirit as they had of creating him? How about more interplanetary stories, or things that the mind really can conceive?"

Writes Dick Thomas, of Shamokin, Pennsylvania: "I am a devoted reader of your magazine, and wish it a lot of success. I like interplanetary stories, and would like to see more of them. Please put more than one Seabury Quinn story in each issue, if possible."

Reader, what is your favorite story in this issue of ? The Corpse-Master, by Seabury Quinn, easily led the field in the July issue in popularity with the readers, as shown by the letters to the Eyrie.
