A WEALTH OF WEIRDNESS AND WONDER!
More Weird Tales - The second chilling collection of stories from the world's most famous fantasy magazine.
This book is the second volume of Peter Haining's spine-chilling collection of supernatural stories from that most famous of all fantasy magazines, Weird Tales. For thirty years Weird Tales consistently produced the very best in horror and fantasy fiction, and was the launching-point for numerous great storytellers of the genre. Now, Weird Tales rises from the crypt to live again in this anthology from the dark pathways of the imagination.
This Volume contains such gruesome gems as a deformed man whose body hides a hideous and deadly secret, a terrible curse from the black mists of the past, a scientist who plans to create the ultimate abomination, and a soldier who cannot die. If your nerves are ready, read on...
