I would like to know if others feel as I do about a book of the Weird Tales stories of that master-writer Henry S. Whitehead. It seems to me that a collection of his Jumbee stories would be a sweeping success, and I hope you will publish my letter and so let us discover whether or not Weird Tales readers are sufficiently lovers of the best in weird fiction to demand a Henry S. Whitehead book."
"I liked Smith's tale in the September Weird Tales immensely," writes Frank Belknap Long, Jr., author of The Space-Eaters and other popular stories that have appeared in this magazine. "And Robert E. Howard's poem, The Harp of Alfred, is—literature. The last stanza is worthy of G. K. Chesterton."
Readers, we value your criticism, whether it consists of enthusiastic praise or whether it consists of pointing out faults that you want remedied. We are always looking for different stories, really unusual tales worthily handled, and we can not know whether the stories we print have succeeded in pleasing you unless you write to us and tell us. What is your favorite story in this issue? And if there are stories that you do not like, let us know. Weird Tales is your magazine, and we want to keep it in accordance with your wishes.
Your favorite story in the October issue, as shown by your votes, is Seabury Quinn's exquisite vampire-tale, Restless Souls. This is closely pressed for first place by the first part of H. Warner Munn's serial story, The Werewolf's Daughter.
