to read one of the most popular stories that
has been printed in this magazine to date.
Through popular demand we have published
a cloth-bound edition of "The Moon Terror,"
by A. G. Birch, to fulfill the wishes of those
who were not fortunate enough to read this
startling story when it appeared serially in
the early issues of Weird Tales.
If you haven’t
read this hook of
shuddery horror
and utter weirdness
we know you
have missed something
that is really
worth while.
This book is
beautifully bound
in rich blue cloth
with attractive orange-colored jacket. It will make a
valuable addition
to your library.
Read the thrilling adventures of Dr. Ferdinand Gresham, the eminent American astronomer, in his encounters with Kwo-Sung-tao, high priest of the Seuen-H'sin (the Sect of Two Moons). The Seuen-H’sin are the sorcerers of China, and the most murderously diabolical breed of human beings on this earth. Each turn of the page increases the suspense when you follow Dr. Gresham to take part in the hellish ceremonies in the Temple of the Moon God—when he crosses the Mountains of Fear—half starves on the dead plains of Dzunsz'chuen—swims the River of Death—sleeps in the Caves of Nganhwiu, where the hot winds never cease and the dead light their campfires on their journey to Nirvana. Here is a story that will thrill you.

Are You Reading the Best?
You will find a wealth of fascinating stories in Weird Tales,
the unique magazine. The brilliant success of this magazine has
been founded on its unrivaled, superb stories of the strange,
the grotesque and the terrible—gripping stories that stimulate
the imagination and send shivers of apprehension up the spine—tales
that take the reader from the humdrum world about us
into a deathless realm of fancy—marvelous tales so thrillingly
told that they seem very real.
Weird Tales prints the best weird fiction in the world today.
If Poe were alive he would undoubtedly be a contributor. In
addition to creepy mystery stories, ghost-tales, stories of devil-worship,
witchcraft, vampires and strange monsters, this magazine
also prints the cream of the weird-scientific fiction that is
written today—tales of the spaces between worlds, surgical
stories, and stories that scan the future with the eye of prophecy.
