Back cover

DON´T FORGET THE
          TORCON.

Send that dollar for TORCON membership to:

Plans proceed apace. The first issue of TORQUE is out with the first details. Don't wait another day. Get that buck in the mail to Ned today!

------------------------------------
                  ETC.

The Avon edition of "The Lurking Fear," by H. P. Lovecraft is on the stands. Contents: The Shunned House, The Lurking Fear, The Colour Out of Space, The Nameless City, Pickman´s Model, Arthur Jertmyn, The Unnamable, The Call of Othulhu, The Moon-Bog, Cool-Air, The Hound. A very worth- while collection, - It is, I believe, the first HPL collection that has no forward, introductiob, or preface. All ther is the usual inside the cover blurb. Avon Library #136.

"Fantasy Book", the new promag is out, and not at all bad. Will have to wair a while before I can say how I like the way it´s going. First issue is all right.

"Hercules, My Shipmate" by Robert Graves, Creative Age Press, is another Graves historical romance. Has gods and goddesses all through it, in a matter of fact manner.
Fair amount of sex. If you can get it, as I did, at a clearance for 50¢, it might be worth the price. List is $3. Published in 1945.

This is the end for SPARX number 6. See you again in three months, I hope.
