German edition of THE 2ND MAYFLOWER
BOOK OF BLACK MAGIC STORIES (1974).
In the 1970's, all German paperbacks had a standard
page count of 142 or 158 pages for technical reasons.
As a result, the following stories were omitted from this
German edition:
"Sanctuary" by E. F. Benson
"The Violinist" by Aleister Crowley
"The Eye of the Beholder" by
Roland Caine
"The Spider" by Hans Heinz Ewers

to Dutch artist C. A. M. Thole.

on THE ABOMINATIONS OF YONDO by Clark Ashton Smith and published by Panther
