patra let down a lot in the last two installments, though it's still a fine yarn. . . . Kuttner's ultra-short was fine and I'm glad to see Derleth back. All in all, a fine issue. For sheer goose-pimply horror, however, give me Medusa's Coil in the January WT. It's the weirdest and scariest thing in ages. Too bad the picture was so poor. The Silver Coffin was a nifty, too, and Waxworks appealed to me. Virgil's cover drawing for The Fifth Candle was great and the interior illustration for Bride of the Lightning was even better. I hope for an impossibility—that WT will continue to improve."


Congrats

C. Wilkos writes from Chicago: "Please forward my Congrats to T. Kelley for his conclusive ending to I Found Cleopatra, which takes first honors this month. The reprint department is second with The Last Horror by Eli Colter, and N. Hindin third with Death Is an Elephant. Mr. Quinn's Globe of Memories, Roads, and Goetterdaemmerung ought to be enough encouragement for him to forget M. de Grandin."


Conan Is Her Favorite

Miss E. B. Hardy writes from Lewiston, Maine: "My vote for favorite story in February Weird Tales goes to the reprint, Eli Colter's The Last Horror. Closely following this fine story comes Fearful Rock (Part I) by Manly Wade Wellman. If the succeeding installments prove as interesting as the opening one, we have a good deal of pleasure awaiting us. (Don't disappoint us, Mr. Wellman.) I am glad to learn you are planning to reprint Robert E. Howard's King Kull stories, as I missed out on those, though I read his Conan stories. Conan was, and still is, my favorite Weird Tales hero, and I miss him very much."


Concise Comments

Catherine Allen writes from Latonia, Kentucky: "Please will you reprint The Last Poet and the Robot by A. Merritt, as it is about the only story by him I haven't read? Also please give us some more stories by Clifford Ball about Rald, Thief of Forthe."
