"You and your associates have done a highly commendable job under rather trying conditions and you may well be proud of your work."--H. Koenig, New York, N.Y.
"THE FANTASY FAN is showing itself, all white cover and everything. I find it more interesting to see a publication grown than to find a brand-new mag on the market that perhaps may not last six months."--Gertrude Hemken, Chicago, Ill.
"I wish to congratulate you for the start of a second year for THE FANTASY FAN and I hope it will continue for many, many more years."--Julius Hopkins, Washington, D.C.
"Your issue of articles, the First Anniversary Number, is one of your most interesting yet, I think--a fine selection of features for both weird and science fan."--Forrest J. Ackerman, San Francisco, Calif.
"The Anniversary issue, with the many new items and the glossy cover, certainly marks a big step forward, and any lengthening of Lovecraft's treatise is always welcome."--Duane W. Rimel, Asotin, Wash.
"THE FANTASY FAN has been improving steadily, and the first (and only) fault, that of too much science fiction material, has been eliminated."--Emil Petaja, Milltown, Mont.
"I was delighted with the First Anniversary Issue. It surely was neatly done and had a dandy line-up. However, I missed the usual bit of fiction."--F. Lee Baldwin, Asotin, Wash.
"I enjoyed all the articles in the last THE FANTASY FAN, as well as the fantasies by Barlow and Morse. The slick cover has a pleasing effect, indeed, though I liked the coloured ones, too."--Clark Ashton Smith, Auburn, Calif.
"The Red Brain" by Donald Wandrei is one of a long cosmic series most of which is unpublished.
H. P. Lovecraft wrote 35 "Fungi from Yuggoth" in 1929 and 1930. _The Fantasy Fan_ is going to print some of those which WT didn't take.

During the month of August, Clark Ashton Smith fought a terrible wood and grass fire on his ranch.... He wrote fiction--of a more realistic cast than some of his present work--as early as 1910 and 1911; some of it appearing in the defunct _Black Cat_. He dropped prose entirely until 1925 when he wrote "The Abominations of Yondo" (rejected by WT and published in the _Overland Monthly_) and "Sadastor" (also rejected by WT but later accepted by them and published).
