January, 1935, THE FANTASY FAN WEIRD WHISPERINGS by Julius Schwartz Arthur B. Reeve, creator of the famous scientific-sleuth, Craig Kennedy, makes his bow to Weird Tales readers with a novelette in the May issue!...Jack Binder, brother of the popular author Eando Binder, will do most of the illustrating for Weird commencing with the April number...C. L. Moore has pulled a "Clark Ash-ton Smith" and has drawn the illustra-tion for her forthcoming yarn in WT "Julhui"... There will be no women on Weird Tales' covers for two consecutive issues this year, April and May! Dr. Death is the title of the latest fantasy magazine to appear on the newsstands. It features a weird-scien-tific novel each month written by "Zorro," which is the pseudonym for Harold Ward. Rounding out the rest of the issue are three or four thrillers with a pseufo-scientific or weird background...Donald Wandrei's latest Icy Frost novelette, "They Could Not Kill Him," appears currently in Clues...The April cover of Weird Tales will illustrate a scene in A. W. Bernal's "The Man Who was Two Men," and deals with an amazing development in radio after television...Bernal, by the way, is a student in the University of Califor-nia, and sold his first yarn, "The Man Who Played with Time," which appeared in March, 1932 WT at the early age of 15. Farnsworth Wright brings up an interesting point regarding titles of stores. Hardly a month goes by that does not bring at least one story titled "The House of Fear," another enti-tled "The House of Living Death," and another entitled "Hand of Death." The commonest title on manuscripts submitted is "Retribu-tion," but stories with the word "House" in the title are almost as frequent. Of course, these titles are changed if the story is accepted, to avoid repeating the same title that has been used in the magazine before. "The House of the Living Dead," by Harold Ward, appeared in WT for March, 1932. Quinn's cover de-sign story for the February, 1935 is-sue had the same title, in manuscript, but the title was changed to "The Web of Living Death." Harold Ward's cover design story for the March issue this year was originally titled "Hands of Death," but this was too similar to Quinn's tale title, "Hands of the Dead" in the current January issue, so the title of Ward's story was changed to "Clutching Hands of Death."
