Others: a standard-length novelette, "The Masher", by Ewen Whyte; short stories by a cadre of names, some of which would become Hall-of-Famers: "Floral Tribute" (Robert Bloch); "Dark O' the Moon (Seabury Quinn); "In the X-Ray" (Fritz Leiber Jr.); "The Ubiquitous Professor Karr" (Stanton A. Coblentz); "From the Vasty Deep" (H. Russell Wakefield); "The Blue Spectacles" (Stephen Grendon); "How Strange My Love" (Russell Branch); and "The Previous Incarnation" (Harold Lawlor).
