The Fantasy Fan The Fan's Own Magazine Published Monthly Editor: Charles D. Hornig (Managing Editor: Wonder Stories) 10 cents a copy $1.00 per year Volume I November, 1933 Number 3 OUR READER SAY "The second number looks to me even more interesting that the first. Smith's tale was splendid. The remunerative editors were certainly fools to turn it down. Glad to see that a number of readers are showing up Ackerman. People like Ackerman are peculiarly ridiculous--one can plainly see that this type of thing is merely egotistic and a gesture to call attention to themselves. How-ever, most people out-grow this state. Glad you were able to get something from young Barlow- he's distinctly worth encouraging." H.P. Lovecraft Clark Ashton Smith informs us that Astounding Stories has just accepted one of this tales, "The Demon of the Flowers, " and Weird Tales has just taken "The Tomb Spawn." He tells us that we will find a surprise in connection with his story, "The Weaver in the Vault" in the January, 1934, Weird Tales. "Your editorial was a corker, the various departments okay, and Smith's yarn was worthy of Weird Tales." Allen Glasser. Mr. Glasser is attempting to make a living at writing--and isn't doing so bad at it. The editor prefers to call him "the Arthur J. Burks of the younger generation." He has sold stories to dozens of magazines, including science fiction. "The second issue was swell. I'd like to see more stories by Clark Ashton Smith in future issues of the Mag. Yep, 20 pages of excellent articles and stores."--Ted Lutwin. Clark Aston Smith is a regular contributor to THE FANTASY FAN. Kenneth B Prichard, although he like the second number immensely, reminds us that we omitted several things that we promised in the September issue. Here's the reason: many articles were crowded out of this number, and others were postponed to make room for a number of much better articles which came in the last minute. Everything promised will be published in good time, though. Lloy Fowler wants us to keep using the grade of paper that we are, instead of cutting down the number of pages in order to afford a better grade. "THE FANTASY FAN is starting out well."-- Ralph Milne Farley From A. Merritt, whom everybody knows, we hear that he had started a sequel to "Thru The Dragon Glass," but abandoned it because he didn't like to write sequels. Our belief is that great authors don't need to write sequels.
