Weird Tales Project: 1940

Originally, MPorcius Fiction Log's Weird Tales Project aimed to read one story from each issue of Weird Tales with a 1930s cover date.  But with that mission accomplished, why not continue the project into the 1940s?  So here we have proof I have blogged about at least one story from each of the six issues of Weird Tales published in 1940, the year the magazine changed to a bimonthly schedule and in which the role of editor passed from Farnsworth Wright to Dorothy Stevens McIlwraith.

(And first, links to records of my bloggings about the 1930s issues of the Unique Magazine.)
