OLD GODS AWAKE
John Dickson Carr has gained a strong following by a series of welltold stories of the supernatural and " The Burning Court," his latest book, should be equally popular. The opening chapters are written with powerful reticence. There is no blatant search for the uncanny, but gradually the reader is forced to admit that possibly the unexplainable still has its place in this seemingly rational world. For a time it seems an explanation will be found to confound the mysterymongers; but, by the end of the book, the shadows have returned, shrouding the scene in mystery and confusion.
" The Burning Court," by John Dickson Carr. (Hamis!) Hamilton.)
