October, 1934, THE FANTASY FAN 19 WITHIN THE CIRCLE by F. Lee Baldwin At one time Forrest Ackerman had a complete collection of Ghost Stories --the old large-size magazine of the photographic illustrations, featuring strange stories by Victor Rousseau, Ray Cummings, Frank Belknap Long Jr., etc.--but disposed of them all upon coming across science fiction. This was when he saw his first Amazing Stories--Vol. 2, No. 6, the September 1926 number. Incidentally, this issue contains the only story by H. P. Lovecraft ever to appear in Amazing "The Colour Out of Space." Farnsworth Wright is a former music critic of The Chicago American. This seems to be quite a season with our authors for travelling, E. Hoffmann Price has just recently paid a second visit to Clark Ashton Smith of Auburn, Calif.; Robert E. Howard spent some time exploring the gigantic Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Perhaps we'll be getting some tales along that line, after a while. Richard F. Searight spent some time amid the scenic grandeur in Houghton, Michigan, H. P. Lovecraft has just returned from a visit with R. H. Barlow of De Land, Florida and is now taking a trip to ancient Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts; Jack Williamson has also returned from a sojourn in Key West where he met Edmond Hamilton; Donal Wandrei has been on a fishing trip in the woods of his native state, Minnesota. H. P. Lovecraft denies all connections with the "The Battle that Ended the Century" (Ms found in a time machine). He was in De Land or in St. Augustine at the time it was mailed, and by the time he was in Washington D. C., the Eastern readers had received their copies. Richard Ely Morse is the son of an Amherst professor and an assistant librarian at Princeton. Louis C. Smith of Oakland, Calif. is a collector of weird and fantastic books and has a library of over two hundred volumes. Our Readers Say (continued from previous page) dard and I hope that during the next year you can give us fans as high a grade of material as you have been doing. My congratulations on the past year's success! We are with you in the future, too!" -- F. Lee Baldwin, Asotin, Wash.
