OUR READERS SAY
"The May FANTASY FAN was just what its cover implied—peachy. Ithad just the right proportion of interesting items. Schwartz andWeisinger's column was just what was needed—most of their items werenew and original. Just that!"—Lester Anderson
"Lovecraft's article is getting to be interesting enough to readthrough now, although I didn't think that it was very good during thefirst few parts. The article on Wells was particularly good."—DavidStolaroff
"The May issue is, I must say, one of the best yet. 'Weird Whisperings'and 'Science Fiction in English Magazines' did I especially enjoyand am looking forward to the latter's promised column on Africanstf."—Daniel McPhail
"I am glad to note that Lovecraft's monograph is appearing in largerinstalments. I hope that Baldwin will continue his 'Side Glances.' Gladmy article on M. R. James was approved by so many readers. Later on,I hope to do some brief articles on other masters of the macabre andfantastic."—Clark Ashton Smith
"'Phantom Lights' outshines and stifles the reputation of 'Birkett'sTwelfth Corpse.' But 'Dragons' destroys the illusion of 'Shadows.'Orchids to 'The Flower God,' the best Annal to date, and one of thechoice stories that has appeared thus far in THE FANTASY FAN."—RobertNelson

Some of the otherarticles proved quite interesting, particularly 'Weird Whisperings' andthe two poems 'Shadows' and 'Dragons' were very enjoyable. The colored'cover' marks another step forward. Keep up the good work."—H. Koenig

"The strength and beauty of Robert E. Howard's 'Gods of the North' inyour March issue has influenced me to mark it for frequent re-reading.No other of his stories has appealed to me quite so strongly. Ihope that you can induce him to write more stories in the samevein."—Chester D. Cuthbert
"Just received May FANTASY FAN and was agreeably surprised to see the'cover.' That's one way of getting started on one. 'Weird Whisperings'by those master newshawks was very fine. The high spots in the issuewere Barlow's Annals and 'Prose Pastels' by Smith. I never tire readingeither of these two authors. I enjoy all the poetry you print andbelieve that you ought to have at least two pages of it."—F. LeeBaldwin
