Magazine of Horror No. 27
This issue of *Magazine of Horror* collects several stories across horror and science fiction. "Out of Lovecraft" by an author credited as C. Gave (author of *The Ghoul Gallery*) features a Massachusetts town gripped by unexplained terror in the 1840s; the narrator discovers an ancient manuscript warning "Doctor Moller" of his impending death, then witnesses a formless, invisible entity consuming a man named Vernon in gruesome detail. "The Sword and the Eagle" by David H. Keller presents a historical narrative concerning an ambidextrous swordsman, Roman legions advancing through Gaul under Caesar, and warnings of invasion. "Out of Lovecraft" (attributed to Lovecraft) concerns Eliphas Snodgrass in Arkham and mysterious disturbances linked to the *Necronomicon*; he vanishes during a lightning strike, leaving behind a stench of decay. Other fragments include a science-fiction piece featuring a boy named Jorid Dason arriving from Rigel Six, a de Grandin detective story involving a murdered woman and the Thags of India, and an occult narrative depicting a ceremony with a red priest and an initiate named Alice Hume.
