talking mandrake still at large!

. . . so I finally axed him, point blank--"Is the mysterious sold-but-never-published story `Talk of Mandrakes' going to be in STRANGE TRAVELERS, the new collection coming up?"

So scratch that title off your wish list--in fact, there will be no stories that have been sold but not-yet-published. =mantis=
