The Weird Tales Story: Expanded and Enhanced

The Weirdest Story Ever Told

Joshi, Darrell Schweitzer, Mike Ashley, Rob Roehm, Bobby Derie, Jason Ray Carney, Adrian Cole, Morgan Holmes, and Terence E. Hanley.

The new material includes chapters on the most influential contributors to Weird Tales, as well as contemperaneous authors who should have been contributors to Weird Tales but who were not.

The history of the magazine is extended past its initial demise in 1954, and the cover story of the first issue, Anthony Rud’s “Ooze,” is reprinted in its entirety.
