Weird Tales' launched in March of 1923 and the world was never the same again. While pulp magazines had been around for some time, 'Weird Tales' was the first pulp magazine to specialize in supernatural fiction. 'Weird Tales' single-handedly created the field of genre fiction as we know it. No longer did readers of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror have to seek out single stories in otherwise mundane magazines; now they had a magazine all of their own that published only the stories they wanted to read. Collected in this anthology are over two hundred thousand words of some of the greatest stories ever published in the pages of 'Weird Tales'. Included are: 'Red Nails' by Robert E. Howard 'The Tree of Life' by C. L. Moore 'Birthmark' by Seabury Quinn 'Spider Mansion' by Fritz Leiber 'Evolution Island' by Edmond Hamilton 'The Monkey Spoons' by Mary Elizabeth Counselman 'The Diamond Lens' by Fitz-James O’Brien 'The Dunwich Horror' by H. P. Lovecraft 'The Salem Horror' by Henry Kuttner 'The Haunted Burglar' by W. C. Morrow 'The Lost Gods' by Dorothy Quick 'The Terror Of The Water-Tank' by William Hope Hodgson 'The White Feather Hex' by Don Peterson 'The Death of Ilalotha' by Clark Ashton Smith 'Each Man Kills' by Victoria Glad 'The Disc Recorder' by August Derleth 'The Doors of Death' by Arthur B. Waltermire 'Where Are You Mr. Biggs?' by Nelson S. Bond 'The Invaders' by Benjamin Ferris 'The Three Pools and the Painted Moon' by Frank Owen 'Werewolf of the Sahara' by G.G. Pendarves 'The People of the Black Circle' by Robert E. Howard

Even as he beat and shouted, the great bronze door swung noiselessly back, revealing a heavy chain across the entrance, over which spear-heads bristled and fierce countenances regarded them intently for an instant. Then the chain was dropped and Techotl grasped the arms of his friends in a nervous frenzy and fairly dragged them over the threshold. A glance over his shoulder just as the door was closing showed Conan the long dim vista of the hall, and dimly framed at the other end an ophidian shape that writhed slowly and painfully into view, flowing in a dull-hued length from a chamber door, its hideous blood-stained head wagging drunkenly. Then the closing door shut off the view.
Inside the square chamber into which they had come heavy bolts were drawn across the door, and the chain locked into place. The door was made to stand the battering of a siege. Four men stood on guard, of the same lank-haired, dark-skinned breed as Techotl, with spears in their hands and swords at their hips. In the wall near the door there was a complicated contrivance of mirrors which Conan guessed was the Eye Techotl had mentioned, so arranged that a narrow, crystal-paned slot in the wall could be looked through from within without being discernible from without. The four guardsmen stared at the strangers with wonder, but asked no question, nor did Techotl vouchsafe any information. He moved with easy confidence now, as if he had shed his cloak of indecision and fear the instant he crossed the threshold.
