Bibliopinions of e Editor MR MIRAKEL- E. Phillips Oppenheim- latest Utopia yarn. Mr. Mirakel has his own Utopia to which he takes bomb-ridden English people. Haven't read, no can comment. GREAT PRINCE SHAN by same author is semi-fantasy, has been published by Pocket Books. THE MOONLIGHT TRAVELER-Selected and introduced by Phillip Van Doren Stern. Collection of fantasy stories, including W. Somerset Maughan;s "Lord Mountdrago," Saki's "The Music on the Hill", others by H.G Wells, Lord Dunsayn, William Hope Hodgson, E.M Forster, Stevenson, Poe, etc. EXPERIMENT PERILIOUS- good psychological horror yarn, intelligantly written. WARRIOR OF THE DAWN-This story ran as a serial in Amazing Stories. The publishers say it received so many fan letters that they decided to publish it in book form. If you like the latter day Burroughs you should like this one. Pure adventure story of Cro-Magnan man. DARK WEDDING-Ramon J. Sender-Onereviewer describes this one thusly- "Take Arch Oboler's "Lights Out", add Frazer's theory of the "Dying God" and a pinch of anthropological soul-search of Levy-Bruhl. Shake vigourously. The ensuing Walpurgisnacht approximates the story of "Dark Wedding". Such characters as a child named Rust Pants who believes his father was a wolf, a leper woman who lines in a small locked upper room and scatters papers through a little window and a German revolutionary-turned-Fascist who feeds live birds to a pet snake after first plucking the tail and wing feathers, etc." For a dose of story and a bettter dose of aboriginal terror, read this one. TWO SERIOUS LADIES-Jane Ever Bowles-Not a fantasy, but as most fans go for the unusual they might like this. This a book with the same theme as "The Well of Loneliness". If you have read and enjoyed "Well" you'll like this one. I WOULDN'T BE IN your SHOES-William Irish-Five novelettes of horror and mystery. THORNE SMITH THREE BAGGER-Three of his best stories, now published in one volume, including "Topper","Glorious Pool" and "Skin and Bones". TWO BOTTLES OF RELISH-edited by Whit Burnott-Seventeen fantasy and weird stories, all of which appeared in Story magazine. This one is a must for all fantasy lovers. TALES FROM TWO POCKETS--Karel Capek-- collection of mystery stories by the author of "Absolute at Large". DARKNESS AND THE DEEP--Vardis Fisher-- THe most monumental and inspiring story to be written concerning the Neanderthal man. If you like prehistoric yarns you'll never find a better one. But read it at any cost, even if you are allergic to prehistoric stories. I no of no better cure.
