titled The Washer of the Ford; i. e., the Banshee. Would it be possible to publish a reprint of these wonderful tales, or rather such as are most suitable?"
Writes Rafael A. Saliva, from Mayaguez, Porto Rico: "In order to get the real thrill out of your stories, I usually read them in bed, when I am alone in my room. Anyone who reads these stories will find he can enjoy them much more, reading them by night, the later the better. The atmosphere itself lends itself to such wild roamings of the imagination."
Ralph Connor, of Vancouver Barracks, Washington, writes to The Eyrie: "I haven't missed an issue of Weird Tales for over a year. Why not some more Duval's Weird Experiment stories? We have had some, but crave more. And more of the type of The Outsider—that story haunts me yet. A Runaway World in the July issue was absolutely fascinating. It is not only weird but possible. Harris has voiced a theory as it might be—I half believe this theory possible."
Mrs. W. C. Hefferlin, of El Cerrito, California, writes to The Eyrie: "I have just finished rereading The Moon-Bog, by H. P. Lovecraft, and The Woman of the Wood, by A. Merritt. I want to express my appreciation of those two beautiful tales. 'Beautiful' is the only word which describes them. Poe had absolutely 'nothing on' Lovecraft for weirdness. Only in Poe’s poems does one find the beauty which H. P. Lovecraft and A. Merritt put into their stories."
Well, readers, The Woman of the Wood, by A. Merritt, easily won first place in your voting for favorite story in the August issue. The Monster-God of Mamurth, by Edmond Hamilton, and The Devil's Graveyard, by G. G. Pendarves, were second and third choice. What story do you like best in the present issue?
