40 THE FANTASY FAN, November, 1934 WEIRD WHISPERINGS by Schwartz and Weisinger Pen Names Ronal Kayser, who has been writing for Weird Tales under the pen-name of Dale Clark, has now dropped his pseudonym and will hereafter use his own name...Greye La Spina had five stories in the first issue of that old fantasy magazine, The Thrill Book... Four of these tales appeared under various pseudonyms, but the cover design story was published under her own name .. G. G. Pendarves, famous weird author, is the pen-name of an Englishwoman ... Her real name is Miss G. Gordon Trenery; she is now selling stories to some of the English magazines under the name of Gordon Trenery...And remember Hugh Davidson, author of "The Vampire Master," "Snake Man," and other WT thrillers? Well, Davidson is the pseudonym for none other than Edmond Hamilton! Weird News Winford Publications' new weird magazine, out in about two months, will sell for fifteen cents a copy, and is tentatively titled Mystery Novels Monthly. It will feature a book-length mystery novel each issue, but all the shorter stories will be of a strictly weird nature. J. Silberkeit is the editor... Miss C. L. Moore has returned to 'Northwest' Smith as a character in a new story titled "Julhi," which will probably appear in the February WT ... Nat Schachner, besides writing science fiction and weird-mystery yarns for Astounding, Dime Mystery, and Terror Tales, likewise writes quite regularly for Super Detective...E. Hoffmann Price sells consistently to the new mag, Spicy Detective Stories... Tales of the Uncanny, a new English magazine, features weird yarns by such well known authors as Algernon Blackwood, H. G. Wells, John Buchan, Hugh Walpole, Michael Arlen, H. R. Wakefield, and Somerset Maughan The Edmond Hamilton Lowdown Here's the story behind the discovery and making of Edmond Hamilton as related by Farnsworth Wright: "Hamilton's first story, entitled 'Beyond the Unseen Wall' was rejected by me ten years ago, but I liked its possibilities so well that I sent Hamilton a three-page typewritten letter with the rejection, telling him how I thought the story might be fixed up; because it sagged in the middle and was rather unconvincingly set forth. I did not know Hamilton from Adam's off ox, but a year later he sent the story back again, rewritten and so much changed that I hardly recognized it. I accepted it immediately, and I suggested "The Desert God" as an acceptable title. Hamilton wrote back suggesting a new one, "The Monster-God of Mamurth," which is the title under which we printed it in Weird Tales. Hamilton has not had a rejected from us since then. Up to the present, he has had 43 stories printed in Weird Tales, and several more are in our hands and will appear soon."
