dark horror of this strange story creeps and stalks in the shadows, until it bursts on the reader in all its stark, gripping vividness. Though the setting is in the prosaic modern life of a New Jersey city, yet a grisly terror from the Middle Ages breaks through into the story and works dark woe for a beautiful American debutante.

and fascinating story is this, in which the evil personality of Count Czuczron of Transylvania is pitted against the brilliant mind of the little French scientist, Jules de Grandin, who drags the horror into the light of day. This unusual tale will be printed complete

The concussion threw us all flat, earth and rocks falling around in a dusty shower, and when we we again struggled to our feet there was left only a great raw wound in the mountain, and the trees about us stood straight to the sky as though nothing had happened beyond the orderly course of every day.

And you wonder why Remington and Bleeker and I are "queer!" You wonder why we always stick together, and why we've grown so silent. Well, I could show you a big scar on a mountainside that looks more like the remains of a landslide than anything else. And Remington could show you where to dig to find a pile of human bones.

A weird-scientific tale that is a masterpiece of imaginative writing.
