Coming soon in WEIRD TALES—

'''A MILLION YEARS FROM NOW'''

By Thomas P. Kelley

A prophetic glimpse into the future

out and above the rest, to wit, Nictzin Dyalhis's The Sea-Witch. Why doesn't this man write more? Every time he plies his pen he produces a gem—take for instance his Sapphire Goddess—but he plies his pen so very seldom. And what of C. L. Moore? Has she given up writing? I miss Northwest Smith and Jirel. Kuttner's Elak reminds me of Conan, and, as Conan was my very favorite character, I am glad that someone is taking his place. The same applies to Clifford Ball's heroes—what about some more, Clifford? Quinn surpassed himself in Fortune's Fools and Goetterdaemmerung, and I think these two efforts were better than his Roads, which, all the same, was a magnificent yarn. Now that Hamilton has given up moving the cosmos in an off-handed manner, he has turned out some first-rate literature, The Isle of the Sleeper being possibly the best; though it is hard to choose, so good was his stuff lately. Bloch seems to have found himself to his own advantage — but I am merely repeating other people's opinion."

Donald V. Allgeier writes from Licking. Missouri: "Congratulations on the larger size. The February copy of WT was great. After a few bad issues you've re-attained your former heights in everything except quality of paper. I give first place in the February issue to the reprint, The Last Horror by Eli Colter. I've been wanting to read it for years and I certainly was not disappointed. It was great and entirely different from what I had expected. That brilliant speech which brought about the black's suicide was marvelously gripping. Death Is an Elephant takes second place, I think. It's an unusual tale and very well done. Virgil drew an unweird but artistic cover for it. Donald Wandrei surprised me pleasantly with Giant-Plasm. I expected another of those interminable yarns of invaders from space that spread over the earth till our hero finds that common table salt or something is fatal to them. This story is different and is very entertaining. Clark Ashton Smith is up to par in The Double Shadow. So far Fearful Rock doesn't seem very weird but perhaps it will become so. I Found
