I'm a sucker for stories about pictures that move or come to life in some way. In this piece, which originally appeared in Weird Tales in 1937, a museum enthusiast takes home a painting with a bizarre scene and inscription. To say much more about it would be to give away the entire story, as it is under fifteen pages (why a public domain press decided to issue it alone--in a hardcover binding--is baffling) and is a bare skeleton of a story. I'm trying to appreciate it in light of when it was written, but I would have appreciated a bit more character development, build-up, etc. rather than a quick in-out so to speak. Still, it's alright and I believe you can read it for free online (legally). ( )
