I was very pleased to note the increased space allotted to Lovecraft's 'Supernatural Horror in Literature.' This unique and fascinating treatise, scholarly and well written, gives evidence of studious research and careful compilation. It is an authoritative review of a most alluring subject and should prove interesting and pleasantly instructive to every lover of the weird. —Richard F. Searight
'The Ancient Voice' rings with laughter all over the pages of the April issue, and although not strictly and convincingly weird, Eando Binder's tale is, nevertheless, a joyous relief to one who has just emerged from a long literary swim in that channel where waters flow and lap afresh and anew with the many 'eloquent tongues in cheeks'. —Robert Nelson
Robert E. Howard's story 'Gods of the North' in the March issue was right up to his standard, although it was a bit too short. Clark Ashton Smith certainly outdid himself in the poem 'Revenant.' The March number is the best one to date. —F. Lee Baldwin
'The Ancient Voice' is a splendid tale, with overtones of subtle terror and macabre suggestion that lingers disquietingly in one's memory. It is certainly refreshing to see the shades of opinion represented in the 'Your Views' department and I feel sure that this discussion will be much more intellectually fruitful than the earlier type with its occasionally sharp personal digs. Smith's 'Chinoiserie' is exquisite. —H. P. Lovecraft
'Side Glances' is interesting. The increased length of Lovecraft's article is relished pleasurably. The diversified views of the section devoted to the display of one's thoughts on various subjects is worth while. —Kenneth B. Pritchard
The March number is certainly distinguished by Howard's fine imaginative piece, 'Gods of the North,' a story full of auroral splendors, with more than a touch of unearthly poetry. I must also commend Hoy Ping Pong's instructive article, the diverting robot yarn by Mr. Ackerman, and Barlow's bibliographical note on 'The Time Machine.' I missed the 'Annals of the Jinns,' however, and trust that this series will be resumed shortly. —Clark Ashton Smith
