Magazine of Horror No. 33

# Catalog Note

This issue of Magazine of Horror features four fictional narratives spanning occult and speculative fiction. Clark Ashton Smith's "The Nameless Offspring" opens with atmospheric prose describing ancient earthly horrors infesting the world since primordial times. David H. Keller's "The Bride Well," set in Cornwall, concerns a ruler navigating the political complications of returning with a Welsh lady to his domains. Ted H. Strauss's "Camera Obscura" frames a first-person confession from James Lloyd Crofter, dated August 3, 1871, who predicts his own murder by midnight—sealed in his study, having discovered no police remedy for a diabolical curse initiated at noon. Robert A. W. Lowndes's novelet "The Road to Nowhere" appears partially reproduced here. The issue also includes Edgar Allan Poe's classic story "Ligeia" and S. Omar Barker's "Back Before the Moon." A non-fiction article on "Attitudes and Mediumship" by Jerryl L. Keane, Ph.D., explores the paranormal alongside advertisements and subscription information.
