I recall the lites, the bustle of the crows, the spendid set.  & in the middle stood that diminutive elfin figure of the Star, with a crown of golden curls.  It was then I fainted.

  Yes, world, that is the terrible truth--HENRY KUTTNER IS REALLY SHIRLEY TEMPLE....!

 The amateur magician is apt to get in trouble if he dabbles in sorcery without taking the necessary precautions.  It's no fun at all if you evoke a lamia who is anxious only to eat you, as many have found; but on the other hand the expert mage can get quite a lot of  amusement out of a lamia.

However, the necrolarian vampire (or "necking vamp" as they are known for short by those who don't know them long) may be differentiated easily from the harmless graveyard variety for while resting the more deadly kind always assumes a semivertical position with its tootsys pointing toward the heavens.

 A great deal has been said in favor of chubby brats to be used in Black Masses & for stews.  Of course one always must consider the possibility the stew may not like the taste of a small child...
