Science fiction -- Periodicals; Science fiction, American -- Periodicals
I liked "Invisible Death" best. "The Beetle Horde" was good,
"Phantoms of Reality," good. "Into Space" and "Mad Music,"
very good. "Creatures of the Light," "Old Crompton's Secret"
and "Spawn of the Stars," good.--Adolph Wasserrogel, Gedden
Terrace, Waterbury, Conn.
"_Going Some!_"
Dear Editor:
I purchased one of your magazines when I first saw them. I
always had a liking for Super-science stories, but your
magazine was the best I ever got hold of. Thought I could
never wait until the next issue to finish "The Beetle
Horde." I believe "The Cave of Horror" was the best story in
that issue. It really seemed as if it could be true.
Due respect must be paid the author of "The Corpse on the
Grating," for it was exciting and fantastic. "Phantoms of
Reality" was good.
All the stories in the second magazine seemed as good as the
best of the first number, and that's going some.
May you succeed in getting the same good and better stories
as you have in the first two issues of a magazine that I am
sure will grow to fame.--Harold Rakestraw, Box 25, Winthop,
Wash.
_We Intend To_
Dear Editor:
Having read the first two issues of your new magazine, I
find it has a larger variety of stories than any of the
other Science Fiction magazines now found on the newsstands.
Why not keep it that way? It will be unique.
Mr. Wessolowski, your artist, is great. He is one who can
draw when it comes to a good scientific background.
I consider "Tanks" your best story as yet, with "Spawn of
the Stars" close second. "Invisible Death," "Creatures of
the Light" and "Mad Music" were also good. Try to give us
some stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and A. Merritt. Did not
think much of "The Beetle Horde"--too many like it--Ted
Shatkowski, 812 Hoffman St., Hammond, Ind.
_Some Good Suggestions_
Dear Editor:
I received the pleasure of purchasing a copy of Astounding
Stories the other day, the first copy I have seen. I have
not yet read it, but I am unable to wait that long to inform
you of my great joy in greeting a new magazine of this type.
I am a reader of other magazines similar to A. S., Stories
of Harl Vincent, Capt. S. P. Meek, Murray Leinster, and
others appear in these magazines, also, so I am familiar
with your authors.
But you have asked me what sort of stories I'd like to see
in A. S., so here goes. First of all, I would earnestly beg
you not to print such stories as those that deal with
ghosts, etc., because in my opinion there are far too many
good stories available to cast them aside for trash.
