I read the first issue ever published, and that led to the others, so now I am a Weird Tales addict. My favorites are stories like The Eternal Conflict and stories of the worlds beyond. I think it's just about impossible to improve this magazine."
Lewis F. Ball, of Havre de Grace, Maryland, writes to The Eyrie: "I am surely an enthusiastic reader of Weird Tales and think it is the best magazine on the market, only it isn't published often enough for me. My favorite story in the December issue is When the Graves Were Opened. It is so different from the ordinary stories, and so well told.

H. P. Lovecraft, another favorite author, writes: "I have lately read your December issue, and believe the general qualitative level is kept commendably high—we don't find any of the frank crudities that marked the earlier issues. Long's The Sea Thing strikes me as the best tale, with Owen's The Fan as a good second."
Helen L. Keys, of New York City, writes: "I am a great admirer of your magazine and the stories you publish. Most editors seem to fear to give their readers an unusual or gruesome story. You are to be congratulated on your courage.
