1922 · 32 pages

Midnight Magazine, Volume I, Number 4 This issue presents eleven mystery and detective stories, as advertised by the editors' appeal to reader demand for strange and inexplicable narratives. The featured story is "The House of Whispering Shadows" by Samri Frikell—a psychological thriller in which a woman kills an assailant in self-defense after he lures her to his locked library, then becomes terrified while trapped with the body. Relief comes when the supposedly dead man, only concussed, calls to her from the staircase. "The Man with the Indigo Eyes" by Robin Stage, beginning serially, introduces Dr. Antonio Blitz, a spiritualist who founded New York's Society for Psychic Research. The narrator, a private detective, recalls their first meeting when Blitz arrives distressed with an occult mystery involving his secretary Estelle Jackson. Other stories include "Yellow Vengeance" by Allan Haggard, "The Dragon's Eye" by John R. Coryell, "The Dagger of Hearts" by T. Howard Kelly, and "He Fell in Love with a Ghost" by Fulton Oursler, among others, spanning supernatural, detective, and adventure genres.
