 of sonnets similar to those presented about ten years ago, namely, Fungi from Yuggoth by H. P. L. and Sonnets of the Midnight Hours by Wandrei? These were a great success, and I'm sure others comparable to them would be welcomed by the majority of your readers. The February issue was the best one in some time. The first installment of Fearful Rock, as I mentioned before, was superb. The Drifting Snow by August W. Derleth was a charming and different kind of vampire tale, off the trail. The horribly suggestive Giant-Plasm, never revealing but still not concealing something of the terror of that strange life. This was a fine comeback for Mr. Wandrei. The Double Shadow—stories like this one that relate a calm, creeping awfulness, coming slowly to claim its victims, give me chills for hours after. It was a very good story. Reprint, The Last Horror, was a magnificent characterization. What a wonderful movie that would make! Shapes of Men That Were is the best pictorial Finlay has done since his return. Finally, the five poems and the conclusion of I Found Cleopatra completed a perfect issue. Kelley's second story was better than his former try, but is this weird? I doubt it very much. Very good action and adventure, though. Death Is an Elephant—fair; The Transgressor—confusing. Lastly, Quinn's tale of the little evil elemental, which was so logical it was unbelievable, could not be catalogued. It was good except for too much explanation and too little story, or something. It just didn't set right with me. Best illustration (not including poem) was The Double Shadow. Cover—very poor; Eyrie—too small."

Caroline Ferber writes from Chicago: "Wow! wotta colorful cover on the February issue! And the 160 pages is a dandy treat—so much more to read. Finlay's illustration for Quinn's Poltergeist of Swan Upping is exceptionally good. He has the stunningest backgrounds in his black and white work Death Is an Elephant conveyed a hypnotic influence all rite. And wotta 'Geist' was Quinn's Poltergeist—mean li'l divil, warn't he? Dear fran' Jules put him to rest, tho I confess I would feel rather uncomfy in that
