8. What happened to the sequel to "Thru the Dragon Glass," by A. Merritt?—David Stolaroff
For some unknown reason, Mr. Merritt never wrote a sequel to this story, although it could stand one very well. Perhaps he will write one yet, even after all these years, if his fans are persistent enough. Reprint copies of this remarkable story, A. Merritt's first, can be purchased for ten cents a copy from Robert Scarlet, Jr., 87-36 162nd St., Jamaica, Long Island, N.Y.
ABOUT AUTHORS
Some fan, after reading one of Jules Verne's tales in Amazing, wrote in claiming that he was a very promising author! Charles Willard Diffin and C. D. Willard is the same author…. The fastest writer: Arthur J. Burks. The slowest: Edward Elme Smith…. P. Schuyler Miller became a science fiction author as the result of a cover contest…. You can't call Raymond Gallun a half-pint, anyway. (How did that pun get into this column?)… The question is still unsatisfactorily: WHO is Anthony Gilmore???… Allen Glasser's "Captives in Space" in the July, 1932 "The Time Traveller" is a rejected entry of the November, 1929 Science Wonder Stories cover contest…. Two of the titles of H. G. Winter's stories contain the word "ice," which seems quite appropriate…. Sewell Peaslee Wright had a story in Weird years before Astounding.
