The Magic Mirror Murders by Seabury Quinn

I have Covid so I’m doing this one quite rapidly. By the time you hear it hopefully I’ll have been well for a month. This follows on from the episode two weeks ago where I talked about “Weird Crimes” a series of articles by Seabury Quinn for Weird Tales magazine. He claimed these stories to be truthful. This one has a serial killer who pretends to be a magician. I’ve put it in the week that is normally a Magonomia episode because there’s a creature in the Bestiary – Grim, king of the ghosts – who is going to be so annoyed when he hears about this killer’s mdous operandi.

Thanks again to ben tucker and his production team at Librivox. I don’t have the tools to convert the scans of Weird tales to plain text, so I’m just including jpgs of the original pages.
