This is the second.<br /><br />Maria Moravsky (1889 - 1947) wrote a baker’s dozen stories for Weird Tales, Ghost Stories, Startling Stories, and this pulp. Only her last story has been anthologized.<br /><br />O. M. Cabral is Olga Marie Cabral (1909 - 1997) who wrote six weird pulp stories for Thrilling Mystery Stories and Weird Tales from 1936 to 1941.
