Weird Tales Magazine No. 368

Weird Tales magazine is known for launching a number of sub-genres of fiction-cosmic horror, swords & sorcery, dark fantasy, and others. It has also greatly added to existing genres like science fiction, horror, and-a personal favorite of editor Jonathan Maberry-weird mystery stories. Or, as they became known-occult detective tales. Here are all-original tales about people who peer into the shadows in order to solve a mystery. Sometimes successfully ... and sometimes the darkness wins. The stories range from nail-biting horror to very dark comedy, and there's a generous mix of short stories, flash fiction (shorter works of about 1500 words), and poems. The lineup is killer, as you'll discover, and the interpretations of what constitutes &quote;occult fiction&quote; is unique to each writer.&quote;The Eyrie&quote; by Jonathan Maberry&quote;Dead Jack and the Mystery of Room 216&quote; by James Aquilone&quote;Beneath the Scarred Pulpit&quote; by Kenneth W.
