Launched in 1923, the pulp magazine Weird Tales quickly became one of the most important outlets for horror and fantasy fiction and is often associated with writers like H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert Bloch, all of whose work appeared in its pages. But often overlooked is the fact that much of Weird Tales' content was by women writers, some of whom numbered among the magazine's most popular contributors.

This volume includes thirteen fantastic tales originally published between 1925 and 1949, written by four of Weird Tales' most prolific female contributors: Greye La Spina, Everil Worrell, Mary Elizabeth Counselman and Eli Colter. Ranging from science fiction to fantasy to horror, these classic tales of mad scientists, deadly curses, ghosts, vampires, and the risen dead remain as thrilling and sensational as when first published.

Greye La Spina

Grey La Spina (1880 - 1969) was an American author of fantasy and horror fiction. She was a regular contributor to leading pulp magazines of the early twentieth century and over the course of her career wrote over one hundred pieces of fiction with her most notable works being "The Wolf of the Steppes," (1919) and the horror novel, Invaders From the Dark (1925).
