Leinster, Repp, Vincent, Flagg--oh, why continue; you certainly know all the good authors of OUR kind of fiction; try them all. Of course, the other Science Fiction magazines that I take are full of stories by my favorites, but you can get stories by them too. From this one issue that I have read I can see only praise for your publication. Here's to a long life and a happy one. Don't forget to send me the March issue as fast as the mail can get it here--Robert J. Hyatt, 1353 Kenyon St., N. W., Washington D. C. "_Worst Ever Read_" Dear Editor: Since you invite criticism as well as praise, I am impelled to state that by far the worst story I ever read in any Science Fiction magazine was "Vampires of Venus," by Anthony Pelcher, which appeared in your April issue. It was so idiotic, so flat and inane, that it might have passed for a burlesque rather than a straight story, were it not painfully evident that the author was serious. The yarn was unworthy of Astounding Stories and did not belong in this magazine. The other stories, except for an amateurish attempt called "The Man Who Was Dead," were deeply engrossing and of unusual merit.--Sears Langell, 1214 Boston Road, New York. "_The Readers' Corner_" All Readers are extended a sincere and cordial invitation to "come over in 'The Readers' Corner'" and join in our monthly discussion of stories, authors, scientific principles and possibilities--everything that's of common interest in connection with our Astounding Stories. Although from time to time the Editor may make a comment or so, this is a department primarily for _Readers_, and we want you to make full use of it. Likes, dislikes, criticisms, explanations, roses, brickbats, suggestions--everything's welcome here; so "come over in 'The Readers' Corner'" and discuss it with all of us! --_The Editor._ * * * * * End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930, by Various *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ASTOUNDING STORIES *** ***** This file should be named 29768.txt or 29768.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/2/9/7/6/29768/ Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
