Weird Tales Project: 1923

Nineteen-Twenty-Three was the first year in which Weird Tales was published, Edwin Baird serving as editor.  Eight issues were published that year, and today I can report that I have read a story from each issue--the links below will take you to my absolutely scientific, unbiased, and incontrovertible assessments of each story.  We've already done this for quite a few of the unique magazine's later years--find immediately below links to index post covering each of those years.
