instance. Of Seabury Quinn's The Phantom Farmhouse in your last issue, I can not speak too highly. That is a thing of poignant, pathetic beauty, full of a moon-filled and tender sylvan atmosphere through which flit shapes of horhor—the Undead."
Writes T. Windsor, of Greenville, Mississippi: "I have resisted the temptation to write my friendly criticism of Weird Tales since I first saw your magazine, but have finally surrendered; hence this letter. I am a professional artist and magician, and have read your magazine for about two years; in many little ways I have secured valuable hints and ideas from Weird Tales which I have used to good advantage in my magic show. Aside from that, I have enjoyed nearly every story in Weird Tales—they are entertaining to the nth degree. We of this business seldom have an opportunity to attend other places of amusement, but I feel as if I have the best entertainment available when I secure the latest copy of Weird Tales in my hands. I also wish to record myself in favor of having the Jules de Grandin stories in book form. Seabury Quinn certainly has created a wonderful character in Dr. de Grandin. He knows how to tell his story well, too; in other words, he is 'familiar with his spooks'."
