Damned delved into the ancient books of
black magic, etc. He was able to turn out
something equally as weird, yet with a de-
cidedly modern trend."
Fingernail Gnawing
Arthur L. Widner, Jr., of Waterbury, Ver-
mont, writes: "Although I'm not normally
a nervous person I have the well known but
bad habit of biting my fingernails. Ordi-
narily I am content to nibble a nail or two
a day, alternating on each hand every week;
but after reading the March issue of WT, I
looked like a male counterpart of the Venus
De Milo, excluding the handsome part of it.
The Guardian of the Book made me consume
my entire left arm. A powerful tale. Henry
Hasse must fill his pen with that Good Gulf.

my shoulder. All the stories were good, with
Lovecraft and Quick getting honorable men-
tion."

others. You sent him his cheque, and that
was that. But has it ever occurred to you
that in Lovecraft you had the greatest
cenius that ever lived in the realm of weird
fiction ?"
Surprize
L.H.K. writes from Pasadena, California:
"Have read your magazine for a long time
and enjoy it very much — but for the sake
of an 'old reader' can't you please do some-
thing about always spelling surprise with a
z?" [The Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dic-
tionary gives surprize as the preferred spell-
ing. — The Editor.]

D. O: tr The t^ecronomists, the Washington
Weird Tales Ouh, is going to publish the
