WEIRD TALES

Cave's tales. I have often wondered why you don't publish more stories by this author than you do. The Brotherhood of Blood and The Ghoul Gallery, written by this author, will always linger in my mind as two of the best stories ever to appear in WT. I must express a word of praise for the serial, Vampires of the Moon, by A. W. Bernal, which ended in the July WT. That story is a most unusual, interesting and exciting tale, and I would thoroughly enjoy another story of this type."


Conan and Howard

Alvin Earl Perry, of Rockdale, Texas, writes: "Robert E. Howard held me enthralled throughout his masterpiece, The Devil in Iron. With each succeeding tale Howard becomes better; his unique character, Conan, is the greatest brain-child yet produced in weird fiction, even overshadowing Moore's Northwest Smith and Quinn's dynamic little Frenchman, Jules de Grandin. Yet, despite Howard's fine work, I believe that the best tale in the current WT is The Three Marked Pennies. Miss Counselman never turned out a better one, and she will have a hard time writing another as good. I already have perused the little classic four times. . . . The latest Northwest Smith story, Dust of Gods, by C. L. Moore, has that author's usual masterful touch. Moore's vivid descriptions rival those of Clark Ashton Smith. The cover design is above the ordinary; Brundage is the most finished author now painting for any fantastic fiction magazine. . . . I hope you are still considering an author's page; contrary to the belief expressed by certain of your readers, I think that such a department would add to, rather than detract from, the reputation of WT. If we knew about the authors, whether their lives be crammed with excitement or normally dull, the stories would prove of much greater interest to us all."


They Like Brundage's Pastels

Alicia and Ellington Curtis of Osprey, Florida, write to the Eyrie: "Brundage's covers are all right and if he wishes to use some nudism in his symbols he should be given full scope rather than be hampered by a few 'aginners' who reflect no more than a passing fad of censoring which will soon be forgotten. Pleasing the many rather than a few chronic 'antis' would be much the
