Marking a century of uniquely peculiar storytelling, each part of this anthology features a different genre — from Cosmic Horror, Sword and Sorcery, and Space Opera, to the Truly Weird: things too strange to publish elsewhere, and the magazine’s raison d’etre. Landmark stories such as “The Call of Cthulhu,” “Worms of the Earth,” and “Legal Rites” stand beside original stories and insightful essays from today’s masters of the weird.

This visually stunning hardcover edition is a collector’s dream, illustrated throughout with classic full-color and black-and-white art from past issues of Weird Tales Magazine.
