■ This is a handsomely bound volume of 300 pages. Its frontispiece is the famous "Lake of Ghosts" illustration by Virgil Finlay, one of the most popular ever to appear in "Fantastic Novels" magazine. The attractive dust wrapper is the work of Russell Swanson.

■ Back in 1932, "Weird Tales" magazine ran this long weird science-fiction tale as a serial novel. "The Port of Peril" portrays the fantastic adventures of Robert Grandon as he encounters the Huitsenni, a weird buccaneering race who prey upon all the nations of Venus alike. When these strange beings abduct Grandon’s bride, the latter realizes that he must conduct a campaign for their extermination. The volume contains four outstanding interior illustrations and an attractive dust wrapper by the master artist, J. Allen St. John, whose work seems a part of the tale itself.
