Calling All Fantasy Fans!
|
| Are there 1000 WEIRD TALES fans who will pay $2.00 per copy for the weird classics of our time—for the best of Smith, Merritt, Quinn, Howard, Bloch, Whitehead, Kuttner, etc., for an anthology of the best shorts from WT? Arkham House will publish them IF the fans will buy each book as it appears, if the fans will trust to our judgment to make the Arkham House Fantasy Library a reality, and not buy only their favorites. One or four books a year—your support will determine how many.
The first book in the Arkham House Fantasy Library will be ready October 1—SOMEONE IN THE DARK, 14 short stories, and 2 novelettes by August Derleth: $2.00 from Arkham House or your bookseller (the best of Derleth from Glory Hand to The Sandwin Compact) . If only 1000 fans buy this and succeeding books, the Fantasy Library is assured. (Arkham House have left a few copies of H. P. Lovecraft's giant omnibus, THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS, at $5.00 the copy— and a second Lovecraft omnibus on the way.) Let us know what you think of our plan for the Arkham House Fantasy Library, which books you would like to see us publish. Write us, and send your $2.00 for SOMEONE IN THE DARK today! |

"I Talked with God"
and as a result of that little talk with God a strange Power came into my life. After 42 years of horrible, dismal, sickening failure, everything took on a brighter hue. It's fascinating to talk with God, and it can be done very easily once you learn the secret. And when you do—well—there will come into your life the same dynamic Power which came into mine. The shackles of defeat which, bound me for years went a-shimmering—and now—?—well, I own control of the largest daily newspaper in our County, I own the largest office building in our City, I drive a beautiful Cadillac limousine. I own my own home which has a lovely pipe-organ in it, and my family are abundantly provided for after I'm gone. And all this has been made possible because one day, ten years ago, I actually and literally talked with God.
You, too, may experience that strange mystical Power which comes from talking with God, and when you do, if there is poverty, unrest, unhappiness, or ill-health in your life, well—this same God-Power is able to do for you what it did for me. No matter how useless or helpless your life seems to be—all this can be changed. For this is not a human Power I'm talking about—it's a God-Power. And there can be no limitations to the God-Power, can there? Of course not. You probably would like to know how you, too, may talk with God, so that this same Power which brought me these good things might come into your life, too. Well—just write a letter or a post-card to Dr. Frank B. Robinson, Dept. 970, Moscow, Idaho, and full particulars of this strange Teaching will be sent to you free of charge. But write now—while you are in the mood. It only costs one cent to find out, and this might easily be the most profitable one cent you have ever spent. It may sound unbelievable—but it's true, or I wouldn't tell you it was.—Advt. Copyright, 1939, Frank B. Robinson.
