When Weird Tales launched in March 1923, it changed popular fiction forever. Pulp magazines had been thriving for years, but Weird Tales was the first magazine devoted specifically to the strange, the supernatural, and the uncanny. It gave readers of fantasy, horror, science fiction, occult adventure, sword and sorcery, and dark mystery a home of their own, and it helped define the field of genre fiction as we know it.
This massive anthology gathers more than two hundred thousand words and over five hundred pages of classic fiction from the pages and tradition of Weird Tales. Here are legendary writers, cult favorites, and powerful rediscoveries: Robert E. Howard's grim frontier sword-and-sorcery, H. P. Lovecraft's haunted architecture of cosmic dread, C. L. Moore's visionary fantasy, Manly Wade Wellman's macabre invention, Seabury Quinn's occult detection, Frank Belknap Long's strange speculation, and many more.
From lost houses and cursed families to undead islands, sinister relics, impossible doorways, alien visitations, dark rituals, and lands of blood and sorcery, Fantastic Stories Presents the Weird Tales Super Pack #1 is a rich entry point into one of the most important traditions in pulp fiction. If you enjoyed this book, search for Positronic Publishing Super Pack to discover more Super Packs of fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and adventure.
