The author of The Chain and The Werewolf of Ponkert returns to the pages of Weird Tales with an enthralling novel of uncanny happenings and weird adventures in America in the time of King Arthur, a novel in which Merlin is one of the principal characters.
How the little band of adventurers found their way to the New World after Arthur's death, how they fled across the Atlantic under the leadership of a Roman centurion who had never seen Rome, how they were aided by Merlin's occult powers, and the incredibly strange reception that awaited them, make a tale that will hold your eyes to the printed page.

Baby Talk
Charles Wilkos writes from Chicago: "I'm not in the habit of writing regularly, but this month I had to. Swell cover, best piece of cover work I've seen in a long while. Haven't tired of studying it yet. Kindly forward a hearty pat on the back of our able Mr. Finlay. Almuric takes the monthly throne in our estimation. Although you announced R. E.
