Weird Tales Project: 1933

As you may be aware, I have pledged to read and blog about at least one story from each 1930s issue of Weird Tales, the famous magazine known for its association with H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Ray Bradbury, C. L. Moore, Robert Bloch, and other major figures in the world of fantasy and horror literature.  Today I can report that I have tackled at least one story from each issue of the unique magazine printed in the year 1933--find below a list of these stories and a link to my semi-coherent musings about them.  

Should I return to these magazines to blog about any additional stories therein, I will add them to the list with a parenthetical note.

Finally, in the following space, I will include links to those blog posts cataloging the WT stories that have come under my doting or scathing eye from each of the other nine years under scrutiny.
