    As everyone knows, he is a specialist in the macabre and bizarre. Askes to explain his approach to fictional crime, he wrote:"The blunt instrument, the gang murder, the paid assassin have always seemed to me positively indelicate. Murder is a fine art and needs the embellishment of a sophisticated imagination. The true aficionado prefers to have his nerves ruffled by the implied thread--the Borgias rather than the Syndicate.

    Alvin Johnson, who remembers the early days well, gives us a unique glimpse into an era that was bursting with vitality, humor and enthusiasm: the settling of the American West. Not since Willa Cather has anyone written with such simplicity and beauty about the stalwart men and women who tamed the wild prairie. To read these warm and winning stories is to be carried into the long past days of pioneers and the rugged Frontier. *What makes this a real find for collectors of weird tales is a gothic horror novelette set in Denmark, "Adelbrand's Skull."
