Maurice Level - Night And Silence
Leonid Andreyeff - Lazarus
Joseph Payne Brennan - Mr. Octbur
Charles Willard Diffin - The Dog That Laughed
Pauline Kappel Prilucik - Ah, Sweet Youth
R. A. Lafferty - The Man Who Never Was
Sabine Baring-Gould - The Leaden Ring
Clark Ashton Smith - The Monster Of The Prophecy
Robert E. Howard - A Song For Men That Laugh (verse)
Sabine Baring-Gould - The Leaden Ring: The come-uppance of Julia Demant, eighteen-year-old heart-breaker who has already destroyed two young men by leading them on only to contemptuously reject their marriage proposals. As a result, suitor number one "married beneath himself" on the rebound and young James Hattersley blew his brains out. Old Aunt Elizabeth is scandalised by Julia's indifference to the tragedy, her insistence on attending the ball to seek out victim number three, and launches into a tract about "the young lady of the present day" with whom she has no patience. One Baring-Gould has got this rant out of his system (he's usually good for at least one per story: check out A Dead Finger for his views on the evils of Socialism and poor people), he treats us to a decent enough malevolent ghost story where-in Julia repeatedly experiences the sensation of putting a bullet through your head and dead James comes to claim her as his wife.
