general
(displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
- With envelope postmarked Feb. 11, 1927 "I am sending you all the tales you list ... You will find both the pure horror and fantastic strains represented in this assortment - naturally I tend to veer betwixt the two, but professionally-minded people urge me to stick to horror as the more marketable commodity. I am just now reacting against this advice, as you will see from The Silver Key, which is recent. The Lurking Fear was done to order for a wretchedly sensational magazine four years ago ... Some day I may re-write it decently as a continuous unit. In [Polaris] - written in 1918 - you will see how close I came to the Dunsany style before I ever heard of Dunsany. My discovery of D. took place in the autumn of 1919, & produced a profound effect upon me - you will see instant reflections in The White Ship, Celephais, The Other Gods, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, &c. Pegana only knows when I'll get my 110-page affair typed - & the same applies to the tale on which I'm now at work, [p. 58] & which may get to 75 pages or so before its natural and logical conclusion appears. It centres around old Providence, & I shall call it either The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, or The Madness Out of Time." A long P.S. written on verso of envelope
