- Summary:
- "Springing forth from the heyday of Weird Tales magazine and its contemporaries comes a new anthology of fifteen uncanny tales--classics and rarities penned by the women writers whose weird imaginings defined the pulp era of the early twentieth century. Featuring an introduction and biographical notes by veteran editor Mike Ashley, this collection offers ghostly thrills, shapeshifting horrors and monstrous coming-of-age narratives from Weird Tales stalwarts such as Mary Elizabeth Counselman alongside more surprising authors such as Lucy M. Montgomery. This new selection also includes a 1990s classic by Tanith Lee, the queen of Weird Tales magazine's revival era, and a recently rediscovered gem of mythical horror by Evangeline Walton." -- Page 4 of cover.
