The Horror on the Links: The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, Volume 1 (The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin #1)
by Seabury QuinnToday the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic.
