To those who have only minimal knowledge of pulp horror magazines, the alluring cover painting by the legendary Margaret Brundage from this issue of WEIRD TALES is iconic. But have you ever wondered what is inside?

Tonight's post begins a series this week that shows the issue in its entirety. From the novel by Hugh Davidson that inspired the cover image, to a Jules de Grandin tale by Seabury Quinn, to a reprint of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival" (1925), this issue is a worthy showcase of the stories and authors that were represented during these, the halcyon days of WT.
