Magazine of Horror No. 31

# Magazine of Horror — February Issue

This issue features three primary stories. "The Noseless Horror" by Robert E. Howard follows detectives investigating a mysterious death in an English manor. A victim is found dead without apparent cause, with suspicion falling on Ganra Singh, the Sikh servant. The investigators search the house's shadowy corridors and a private museum, seeking evidence of foul play.

"The Duel of the Sorcerers" by Paul Ernst centers on Rick Ballard and Professor Tholl examining a hospitalized girl, Priscilla Rand, afflicted with mysterious marks on her throat. Tholl recognizes supernatural causation—specifically a vampire, Doctor Quoy, operating under cover of darkness. Tholl recounts his thirty-year history with occult magic, explaining how the doctor's soul inhabits borrowed bodies.

A third story by David H. Keller, M.D., appears to involve Cornish folklore—a man seeking aid regarding marriage, with discussion of superstitions about Cornish ancestry and a sorcerer removing a tail to permit an engagement.

The issue includes advertorials on beauty, glamour, and fashion alongside fiction.
