It just strikes me as odd that a magazine that touts itself as Weird Tales would now shy away from printing a weird tale . Frankly I'm disappointed that the magazine cowardly gave in to political correctness. I'm sure there are many great authors that never would have seen print if the current climate of fear of "offending" people had taken hold a century ago.

I wouldn't go out of my way to read this book but I'd probably give it a look if I came across it. I'm very hesitant to join a pitchfork mob when I haven't read the piece in question. Certain books pick up a negative reputation despite only a bare handful of people actually having read the work. Everybody has an opinion on something like The Turner Diaries but how many people have actually read it? A few hundred people at most? This will become one of those books: nobody has read it but everybody "just knows" that it's racist ****.
