As part of a new project with Skelos Press, I am putting together material for a book on weird science from the pulps. Thanks to the magical powers of archive.org and the internet in general, I found this little number:

Two of many items of note: I think the standing drow figure is getting ready to ink a scroll of demon protection and Eldon K Everett is should be a stage name for someone.

You can be sure I would have been a card-carrying Weird Tales member if I existed in 1935.

Lovecraftian horror and music from beyond the spheres.

Both of these are from Derleth’s “Beyond the Threshold.”

Crypts of Space is an excellent name for a stoner metal band.

I guess that is better than being all haunted.

These two illustrations accompany Clark Ashton Smith’s “Witch Dance.”

Both images are from the Quick short story.

War clouds gather, and Atlantis lives on.

Robert Bloch is the Zeke of Weird Tales.

“Honeymoon in Bedlam” by Nelson S. Bond

“Two Shall Be Born” by Seabury Quinn

In my prime material plane life, I am busy researching Edgar Allan Poe for an article. While digging through discussion of “The Raven,” I found a reference to this poem from 1842 by James Rees, published the same issue of The Philadelphia Dollar as “The Gold Bug”.

Part of the header that was cut off states that this is “a stanza for music.” It sure is Mr. Rees, it sure is.

Getting closer to the Nazis here, with one of these stories having those dastards fight Vikings, and this was long before Dead Snow.

Also from “Seven Seconds.”

“An Adventure of a Professional Corpse” by H. Bedford Jones

“Sea Born” by Edmond Hamilton

Also from “Sea Born.”

Fight those Nazis.
