HOWLS FROM THE ETHER

by The Spacehound

Some copies of the August, 1929, Amazing Stories contained "Out of the Void" printed twice and "The Grim Inheritance" omitted. This happens every so often in the binding of magazines, when one of the several sections is left out and two of another inserted. In the above case, this means that several issues of the magazine contained no "Out of the Void," and two copies of "The Grim Inheritance"...Voltaire's "Micromagas[[?]]" is an excellent interplanetary story concerning a Sirian's visit to Saturn and Earth...In the days of "Science Fiction" (the pamphlet mimeographed in Cleveland), Hugh Langley was the pseudonym for the joint efforts of Jerome Siegel and Bernard Kenton...P. S. Miller mentions working on his "Arrhenius Horror" in an early 1930 mag..."Desolation's War" an excellent science fiction tale was in Top-Notch a short while ago. They present stories of this type at odd intervals...Roy Rockwood's "Great Miracle" series have been reissued...An English newspaper runs science fiction regularly. Roy's "Prince of Atlantis," while a stf classic is also a subtle treatise on sociology...Radio Guild carried an illustrated feature on Buck Rogers...The December 1932 Happy Hours Magazine carried an editorial on "Science Fiction in the Dime Novels," by Ralph P. Smith...O. O. Melntyre and Philip Wylie are good friends...In regards to the question in the August 1932 Time Traveller, "The Nth Man," by Homer Eon Flint, was written especially for the Amazing Quarterly...The Doe Savage magazine is running a number of good adventure fantasies. Recent issues have had "The Land of Terror," and a tale of adventure at the North Pole among several others, including one about super-gangs[[?]] attempting to conquer a nation ... And keep an eye on Thrilling Adventure and the new companion mag to Nickle Detective ... Austin Hall had a humorous western in a recent Argosy... You cover fans keep an eye on the fine work Paul is doing for Science and Mechanics, the sister magazine of Wonder Stories...One of H. G. Wells' latest contributions is "Love on Mars" in a romance magazine..."Conflict," a new magazine issued by the central Pub. Co. at the old Miracle Stories address, will use "weird adventure stories" ...R. F. Starxl had a review of the science fiction market in the Author and Journalist over two years ago...The staff of the Dallis Journal etherized[[?]] the first chapter of Burroughs' "A Fighting Man of Mars" over WFAA last June...Edison's last work is said to have been on a machine to communicate with the dead...Your scribe is No. 1 in the Jules Verne Prixe Club...Two recent radio fantasies are "The Man with the Golden Head" and Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" ... An excellent satire on interplanetary stories ran through the comic sheets of the AP newspapers, which showed Sappo and Professor Whattasnozzle going through adventures on Mars and Venus ... A vote taken in the early days of Amazing Storie showed 32,644 in favor of a bi-weekly publication, and 498 who thought otherwise...Edgar Wallace's "The Fourth Plague" is a good scientific mystery novel
