Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Dec 1997 | Series: Best of Weird Tales
Weird Tales has always been the most popular and sought-after of all pulp magazines. Its mix of exotic fantasy, horror, science fiction, suspense, and the just plain indescribable has enthralled generations of readers throughout the world.

Collected here are 13 of the best short stories published in Weird Tales' first year of publication, 1923 -- classics by many who would later play an integral part in the Unique Magazine, such as H.P. Lovecraft, Frank Owen, and Farnsworth Wright.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine snapshot of Weird Tales circa 1923 15 Oct 2009
By Mr. A. Buckle
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some interesting horror (though some are barely that) tales from 1923 Weird Tales. Also has many informative (though albeit too short) articles per month mentioning the stories that might have made the cut as well as items for possible future anthologies. Hard to judge if these are the best or not of the period as the books are impossible to find (and expensive if you do).

Sadly a 1924 book was announced as forthcoming, .. it would have made for an interesting series of books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately it seems that it was not the first of a series 12 Jan 2012
By Matteo Beltramo
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even if it is difficult to understand before buying it, this "best of" is limited to 1923, the fist year of Weird Tales magazine publication.
All in all the selection is of excellent stories. The only disappointment with the book is its cover: I'd very much preferred if one of the original Weird Tales covers of the ones published in 1923.
I'd have liked this book to be the first of a series, one per "Weird Tales Magazine" year. Infortunately it seems it remains the only one of its breed.
