Sprague de Camp, winner of the Gandolf Award as a Grand Master of Fantasy, reveals within these pages the curious story of his friendship with W. Wilson " Willy" Newbury, for whom the realm of the super-natural seems to have a strange affinity. - A horse discloses its violent - non-equine - past. - A manufacturer reveals a particularly unacceptable form of non-union labour. - Formaldehyde is shown to be a better preservative than even its inventor would have hoped. - A game of chances takes on serious overtones, and all for a most unlikely prize.
