About this issue

This issue features serialized stories and complete fiction. The lead serial is "The Caravan of the Dead" by Harold Lamb (Part I, six-part series), an adventure narrative set in Central Asia near Lake Issyuk Kul in the Tian Shan mountains. A white man named Donovan uses a telescope from a rocky vantage point to observe a mysterious caravan of over sixty camels traveling along the distant shore—a caravan reportedly cursed, ridden by the dead, and leaving white bones in its path. His nervous servant, Jain Ali Beg, a turbaned Sart, expresses superstitious dread at the sight, while Donovan remains grimly determined to investigate. Also contained are other serials: "Findings Is Keepings" by John Boyd Clarke (Part II), "Vials of Hate" by George C. Shedd (Part III), "The House of Fraud" by Jack Bechdolt (Part V), plus the complete novelette "The Mad Planet" by Murray Leinster, and short stories by Robert W. Sneddon, Ferdinand Grahame, Ray Cummings, and Charles B. Stilson. Francis Stevens' "Serapion," described as "one of the most powerful of psychic phenomena ever printed," begins next issue.
