Uncanny Beauty and Weird Tales

Uncannily Beautiful Cover Art for Weird Tales #356
Uncannily Beautiful Cover Art for Weird Tales #356


Weird Tales magazine (issue #356) will have “uncanny beauty” as its theme, and I’m excited to see what it has in store. The cover art is gorgeous. Even Jeff Vandermeer’s cat loves it. I highly recommend subscribing to this longstanding genre fiction magazine, which has been around since the pulp era and helped draw attention to the careers of horror writers ranging all the way from HP Lovecraft and Robert Bloch to Ramsey Campbell and Thomas Ligotti. Its contemporary incarnation is doing all sorts of remarkable things to stretch beyond preconceived notions of the fantasy genre, while retaining the spirit of its editorial history. I love Weird Tales.
