This issue contains six fiction pieces. "The Case of the Sinister Shape" by Solon Orlock follows Dr. Muncing and a detective investigating a death in a hotel where a victim's bones are inexplicably shattered from within. Pursuing signs of a supernatural presence—"the sinister shape"—they ascend into the building's attic hunting what appears to be a ghost. "The Thirty and One" by David H. Keller depicts a medieval fantasy: Cecil, an Overlord, confronts a giant demanding marriage to a Lady, ultimately defeated by thirty champions through the Juggler's hypnotic golden balls. "Portraits by Jacob Pitt" by Steven Lott concerns a painting that mysteriously changes—its sunset moving across the canvas—while John Darringby uncovers the painter's supernatural history. "The Forgotten Planet" by Sewell Peaslee Wright appears in the science fiction section. "Hilgard" by Charles Hilan Craig recounts a Norse raider who encounters a Saxon maiden. Additional contents include "The Derelict of Space," "Death from the Stars," "The Veil of Tanit," and "The Gray Killer," though details remain OCR-obscured.
