HANDS OF THE
DEAD

By Seabury Quinn

A tale of Jules de Grandin—occultist, phantom-fighter and ghost-breaker, detective and physician, vain yet likable—the most fascinating literary figure in modern fiction. Month after month, year after year, Jules de Grandin has grown in the affections of the reading public, and his appearance in a new story is an occasion for rejoicing by many thousands of de Grandin admirers.


This new tale about the egotistical yet altogether human and lovable French scientist is fully up to the high standard that you have learned to look for in Seabury Quinn's stories. It will be published complete

the things which he merely suggests. The whole attitude of the two authors is different; and in my opinion, Bedford-Jones' method of approach is the very best way to present a weird story to achieve a maximum of effect. It is well to include such stories as Fioraccio in your reprint section occasionally, merely because your own authors' stories shine so brilliantly by comparison. Some of the excellent weird stories from old issues that I would like to see reprinted are Greye La Spina's powerful story of the London plague, The Dead-Wagon; Edmond Hamilton's little masterpiece about the invisible spider, The Monster-God of Mamurth; Frank Belknap Long, Jr.'s goose-flesh tale of other dimensions, The Hounds of Tindalos; John Martin Leahy's weird thriller of the South Pole, In Amundsen's Tent; and one of Paul Ernst's earlier stories, A Witch's Curse. I once heard a radio drama from Mr. Ernst's story, broadcast from a Cleveland station, and it was tremendously effective. And why not reprint the first of the Jules de Grandin stories, The Horror on the Links?"

Moore's strange story about Jirel of Joiry, easily took first place in your affections as the most popular story in the October issue, as shown by your votes and letters.
