are: The Wishing-Well, by E. F. Benson; The Guillotine Club, by Capwell Wyckoff; and The Corpse-Master, by Seabury Quinn."

Writes Evelyn Martin, of Hiltonville, Indiana: "Two years ago I made a trip to St. Louis, and I never regretted that trip, for there's where I got acquainted with your wonderful magazine. By all means have Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin stories printed in book form. I also wish to say a word for Nictzin Dyalhis' stories. Tell Dyalhis to write more stories about Hul Jok, and have them put in book form also. Quinn's The House of Golden Masks and Whitehead's Black Tancrede, both in the June issue, were wondeful stories."

Genevieve W. Fisher, of Vineland, New Jersey, writes to the Eyrie: "What I like best in your magazine is Lovecraft's stories. He is by far your best writer; his style and his English are wonderful, as shown in his latest story, The Dunwich Horror. Hope we will have more like that. I don't remember whether Lovecraft wrote The Lurking Fear or not, but I remember that as one of your best stories published, especially in its remarkable descriptions. Please publish more stories by Lieutenant Edgar Gardiner. I vote him a fine writer."

Fred Krumboldt, of East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, writes to the Eyrie: "The story that I like best in your latest issue is The Last of the Mayas, by Arthur Thatcher. This story is very realistic and weird. Let us have more like it. The stories that I like most are invasion of one planet by another, other worlds besides our own, and the finding of lost cities and countries on our earth. The second best is of course Seabury Quinn's story. Mr. Quinn is the best writer that has on its staff."

"Dear Editor," writes Avinska Leppin, of Marietta, Ohio: "I have never been guilty of missing an issue of since I absent-mindedly picked one up in a news stand about five years ago. I have every one bound for over three years back, and intend to have them all bound and put in my library. Beyond a doubt, in my estimation, Seabury Quinn's The House of Golden Masks is the best story in  for June; in fact it's the best Seabury Quinn has ever written. The story is logical and could happen very easily in this day and age. Quinn's ability for writing a real weird tale with genuine creeps in it beats any other writer that has ever written a story for ."

"Edmond Hamilton's Outside the Universe takes first place in your July issue, and it promises to be his best," writes Jack Darrow, of Chicago. "The Corpse-Master, by Seabury Quinn, comes second, and The Last of the Mayas, by Arthur Thatcher, is third. I hope that you will continue to give, each month, a list of the stories coming out in the following issue."

"I am twelve years old," writes Betty Irene Murray, of Akron, Ohio. "Your magazine is a literary find. I have not been reading it very long.
