The Rock Bred Evolution in Reverse Devil's Asteroid appeared in the July 1941 issue of Comet. "It was not very large, as asteroids go, but about it clung a silvery mist of atmosphere. Deeper flashes through the mist betokened water, and green patches hinted of rich vegetation. The space-patroller circled the little world knowledgeably, like a wasp buzzing around an apple. In the control room, by the forward ports, the Martian skipper addressed his Terrestrial companion." The Golgotha Dancers appeared in the October 1937 issue of Weird Tales. "A curious and terrifying story about an artist who sold his soul that he might paint a living picture." Manly Wade Wellman was an American writer best known for his fantasy and horror stories set in the Appalachian Mountains and for drawing on the native folklore of that region.
