'But happening to mention one day to my Editor that I thought "Occult" stories would go down well just now, & that I had a lot of material for them in hand I was a little surprised to see him jump at the suggestion, & offer to buy the serial rights of eight stories at once. So, deeming eight stories sold in advance to be better than a novel perhaps on my hands, I have shelved the latter for a time, & am to be seen daily reading a vast tome "Myst?res des Sciences Occultes". I tremble to consider the bad art which will be compressed into those stories!'
