Weird Tales Project: 1938

 

How it started: I decided to read at least one story from each issue of Weird Tales published in the 1930s.  How it's going: I can now report I have read a story in each issue from the years 1930 through 1938!  See the list of stories from 1938 I read below, complete with links to my commentary about each!  Nota bene: If I go back to read an additional piece of 1938 Weird Tales fiction I will add it to the list with a parenthetical note.  Finally: Preceding the list proper are links to the other nine blog posts chronicling this adventure among the pages of one of the most important of the beloved pulps.
