Katherine Yates - Under The Hau Tree
Robert E. Howard - Rattle Of Bones
Dorothy Norman Cooke - The Head Of Du Bois
Robert E. Howard - The Dweller In The Dark Valley (verse)
Greye La Spina - The Devil's Pool
A fairly typical issue of Lowdnes' labour of love. Literary classics by Bierce and de Maupassant, pulps famous and obscure with a smattering of original fiction:
Greye La Spina - The Devil's Pool: Excellent, suspenseful werewolf novella. Horrific events in and around Baumman's Farm after the arrival of the saturnine Lem Schwartz who enchants a pool in the forest so that all who immerse themselves become werewolves on the night of the next full moon. Seline and Harry have already fallen under this dreadful spell when Mason Hardy sets out to investigate the disappearance of a local cab-driver's baby. In a particularly grisly sequence, Hardy discovers the leftovers of the wolves' most recent meal ...
Edward D. Hoch - The Empty Zoo: Having spent ten years in prison for attacking a little girl, Tommy returns to the Zoo where the incident took place. Unbeknown to him, his latest girlfriend is his victim matured to adulthood. He spends another lengthy stretch behind bars.
Dorothy Norman Cooke - The Head Of Du Bois: Voodoo. Author decapitated in the jungle by natives learns of the success of his posthumously published novel. The critic reviewing it suffers nightmare glimpses of Du Bois's fate. Would have benefited from a nasty ending.
Katherine Yates - Under The Hau Tree: (Weird Tales, Nov. 1925). Joseph and Jennie promised each other a world tour to celebrate their marriage. They're not going to let the trifling business of being mangled in a train wreck stand in their way.
