Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

From
this
one
issue
that
I
have
read
I
can
see
only
praise
for
your
publication.
Here's
to
a
long
life
and
a
happy
one.
Don't
forget
to
send
me
the
March
issue
as
fast
as
the
mail
can
get
it
here--Robert
J.
Hyatt,
1353

"Worst
Ever
Read"
Dear
Editor:
Since
you
invite
criticism
as
well
as
praise,
I
am
impelled
to
state
that
by
far
the
worst
story
I
ever
read
in
any
Science
Fiction
magazine
was
"Vampires
of
Venus,"
by
Anthony
Pelcher,
which
appeared
in
your
April
issue.
It
was
so
idiotic,
so
flat
and
inane,
that
it
might
have
passed
for
a
burlesque
rather
than
a
straight
story,
were
it
not
painfully
evident
that
the
author
was
serious.
The
yarn
was
unworthy
of
Astounding
Stories
and
did
not
belong
in
this
magazine.
The
other
stories,
except
for
an
amateurish
attempt
called
"The
Man
Who
Was
Dead,"
were
deeply
engrossing
and
of
unusual
merit.--Sears
Langell,
1214
Boston
Road,
New
York.
"The
Readers'
Corner"
All
Readers
are
extended
a
sincere
and
cordial
invitation
to
"come
over
in
'The
Readers'
Corner'"
and
join
in
our
monthly
discussion
of
stories,
authors,
scientific
principles
and
possibilities--everything
that's
of
common
interest
in
connection
with
our
Astounding
Stories.
Although
from
time
to
time
the
Editor
may
make
a
comment
or
so,
this
is
a
department
primarily
for
Readers,
and
we
want
you
to
make
full
use
of
it.
Likes,
dislikes,
criticisms,
explanations,
roses,
brickbats,
suggestions--everything's
welcome
here;
so
"come
over
in
'The
Readers'
Corner'"
and
discuss
it
with
all
of
us!
