Weird Tales Project: 1926

1926 saw the launch of the first liquid fuel rocket, labor unrest in Great Britain, and the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh.  And the publication of 12 issues of your favorite magazine, Weird Tales!   

Like the spider in that Scottish story, we here at MPorcius Fiction Log are not abandoning the apparently impossible task of reading at least one story from each issue of the Unique Magazine of the Bizarre and Unusual.  And today we can make a verifiable claim of progress--we have now read a story from each issue of WT printed with a 1926 cover date, all of which were edited by Farnsworth Wright.

Immediately below, find links to blog posts about all the other years for which we have already achieved this amazing feat.  And then come links to my blog posts about all the 1926 Weird Tales stories I have read.   

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and brace yourself for a weird 1927!
