FUTURE ISSUES

A WEALTH of fascinating stories is scheduled for early publication in Weird Tales, the unique magazine. The brilliant success of Weird Tales 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 vividly 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 the worlds, surgical stories, and stories that scan the future with the eye of prophecy. Among the amazing tales in the next few issues will be:

THE HOUSE OF GOLDEN MASKS, by Seabury Quinn

Weird and terrible were the tortures meted out to the masked maidens in that sinister House of the Golden Masks—a daring adventure of the little French scientist, Jules de Grandin.

THE DEATH TOUCH, by Chester L. Saxby

Frozen in the ice they found Yardley, there in the southern wastes, and his cold, clutching lingers sapped the vital magnetism from the bodies of the crew, leaving them white as leprosy.

DEMON DOOM OF N'YENG SEN, by Bassett Morgan

The author of "The Devils of Po Sung" returns again to the South Seas for another gripping tale of brain-transplantation and horrors unspeakable.

THE THING IN THE HOUSE, by H. F. Scotten

A combination of de Maupassant's "Horla," Bierce's "Damned Thing" and Crawford's invisible creature in "The Upper Berth," this fearsome monster wrought dreadful havoc before it was brought to bay.

WITHIN THE NEBULA, by Edmond Hamilton

Three beings from different corners of the Galaxy—an Earth-man from our own solar system, a plant-man from Capella, and a tentacle-man from Arcturus—start out on the strangest expedition in all literature as the great nebula expands and menaces the universe with fiery destruction.

THE SHADOW OF A NIGHTMARE, by Donald Wandrei

Tucked away in a corner of the Himalayas was a strange country, inhabited entirely by madmen; and from a manuscript that found its way to the outer world from this Country of the Mad stalked forth nightmare and horror.

THE LAUGHING THING, by G. G. Pendarves

Eldred Werne signed away his estates to Jason Drewe, and then died, but the terrlfic manifestations at the manor showed that he wielded more power dead than alive—a powerful ghost-story.
