Horror Various: Weird Tales-August-September, 1936. V1. 9 Feb 2012

[crutledge]

Weird Tales is an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine first published in March 1923. It ceased its original run in September 1954, after 279 issues, but has since been revived. The magazine was set up in Chicago by J. C. Henneberger, an ex-journalist with a taste for the macabre. Edwin Baird was the first editor of the monthly, assisted by Farnsworth Wright.[1] The "sub-genre" pioneered by Weird Tales writers has come to be called weird fiction.
