Note: With the intention of making this list as complete and all-inclusive a one as possible, I have been very liberal in my definition of fantasy; thus tales of a scientific-detective slant, those mainly concerned with folk-lore, and themes which were fantastic when they appeared yet are so no longer---all of these have found mention on the preceding pages along with the stories of unquestioned fantastic content. After all, what I might label as a borderline case someone else might consider out-and-out fantasy---and I don't want to disappoint anyone.

and Clark Ashton Smith's second collection, Lost Worlds. These books are musts. Six Novels of the Supernatural, edited by Edward Wagenknecht, is the newest book to join the "Portable Library" of the Viking Press; 896 pages for $2.50, indeed a bargain not to be missed! And advertised as "literary adrenalin for jaded readers" is The Great Fog and Other Weird Tales by H. F. Heard (Vanguard Press, $2.50); the "ghosts" herein range from mold cultures to polar hysteria, with no little variety between these extremes. This volume is also recommended...
