The Unique Legacy of Weird Tales: The Evolution of Modern Fantasy and Horror

By Jeffrey Shanks

This volume collects critical essays that provide a broader understanding of the magazine Weird Tales and its authors, artists, readers, and editorial practices, as well as the larger impact that the periodical had on popular culture and genre fiction. In particular, these essays explain why Weird Tales deserved its subtitle "The Unique Magazine" and why works by some of its authors have endured.
