Excerpt from The Strange Schemes of Randolph Mason: Stories of Mystery and Crime
The teller of strange tales is not the least among benefactors of men. His cup of Lethe is welcome at times even to the strongest, when the t?dium vit? of the commonplace is in its meridian. To the aching victim of evil fortune, it is ofttimes the divine an?sthetic.
To-day a bitter critic calls down to the storyteller, bidding him turn out with the hewers of wood and the drawers of water, for the reason that there is no new thing, and the pieces with which he seeks to build are ancient and well worn.
