Letter to the editor of Weird Tales, October 1923 – October 1923 Letter to the editor of Weird Tales, September 1923 – September 1923 Everyone who read it either started their own magazine or fanclub, or began writing their own “weird fiction”-Lovecraft’s term for the kind of supernatural horror he churned out for several decades.įans of Lovecraft can read and download scans of his stories and letters to the editor published in Weird Tales at the links below, brought to us by The Lovecraft eZine (via SFFaudio). And while the magazine may not have been widely popular, as the Velvet Underground was to the rapid spread of various subgenera of rock in the seventies, so was Weird Tales to horror and fantasy fandom.
Weird Tales is widely accepted by cultural historians as “the first pulp magazine to specialize in supernatural and occult fiction,” points out The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (though, as we noted a few days ago, an obscure German title, Der Orchideengarten, technically got there earlier).
