Weird Tales - 18 Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories Published in Weird Tales Magazine from the 1800s, 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s: Haunting Visions and Strange Worlds from Lovecraft, Poe, Howard, and More

"Weird Tales brings together 18 unforgettable lost science fiction and dark fantasy short stories, from Weird Tales Magazine—from the late 1800s through the golden decades of the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. This collection plunges you into shadow-soaked ruins, forbidden knowledge, alien geometries, living houses, and terrors that refuse to remain buried. These are stories where science blurs into nightmare, curiosity becomes a fatal flaw, and the universe proves far stranger—and more hostile—than humanity ever imagined. You’ll encounter ancient cities abandoned for reasons best left undiscovered, unseen entities lurking just beyond perception, and experiments that open doors no one should walk through. Weird Tales delivers the raw imagination that defined early speculative fiction. Includes these classic tales: - Cool Air by H. P. Lovecraft - The Beast-Helper by Frank Belknap Long - The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick - Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave - In the Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft & Kenneth Sterling - Escape by Paul Ernst - The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft - The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi - The Unnamable by H. P. Lovecraft - The Shunned House by H. P.

Anton's Last Dream: In the Silence of the Lab, Madness Was Born

"Anton Slezak has built a fortune by turning unlikely ideas into profitable discoveries. Factories buy his inventions, newspapers praise his brilliance, and society admires the beautiful young wife who stands beside him at every public celebration. At fifty-two he appears to have reached the summit of a remarkable life. Yet Anton has never been satisfied with practical success. For years he has been fascinated by a dream that most scientists dismiss as impossible. In a private laboratory, working alone and in secrecy, he pursues the idea that color itself might hide a human body from sight. If he succeeds, he will create something the world has never seen—an invisibility so perfect that a man could stand beside you and remain completely unseen. When the experiment finally works, Anton becomes the only person alive who can move through the world like a ghost. Doors open before him, crowds part without noticing him, and every secret becomes accessible. But the first place he chooses to test his triumph is a quiet hotel room where he expects to find something very different. What he witnesses there turns a scientific miracle into a moment of reckoning. In that instant Anton must decide what to do with the most dangerous power he has ever possessed—and whether any discovery is worth the price it demands. Edwin Baird’s “Anton’s Last Dream” delivers a dark, intimate shocker from the early pages of Weird Tales. Blending science fiction with psychological horror, the story explores what happens when a scientific triumph collides with betrayal and wounded pride. The result is a chilling reminder that the most dangerous discoveries are not always made in the laboratory. Edwin Baird served as the first editor of the legendary pulp magazine Weird Tales when it launched in 1923. During his brief but influential tenure, he helped introduce readers to the strange blend of fantasy, horror, and speculative fiction that would define the magazine."
