Weird Tales Project: 1931

Like Aeneas, I am a man apart, devoted to my mission.  That lofty mission: to blog about at least one story from each issue of Weird Tales printed in the 1930s.  And just as Rome was not built in a day, reading over 100 stories about guys exploring tombs and never returning from them, vampires, mighty-thewed barbarians and astronauts who get killed takes a little time.  But I am making progress in this odyssey, and today I bring you proof!  A list of all nine issues of Weird Tales published in 1931 and the stories I have read from each, with links to my musings about each.  

(Should I blog about any additional stories printed in a 1931 issue of Weird Tales--it could happen!-- I will add them to this list with a parenthetical note.)

Here you'll find links to the other nine blogposts that will together form my official after-action report about this arduous campaign:
