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._
