📝 Description: Weird Tales Magazine No. 367

Jonathan Maberry edits this volume, marking the first issue in the second century of Weird Tales. The collection opens with his own piece titled "The Eyrie" before presenting a new Hellboy story by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden called "The City in the Sea." This narrative is followed by Nicholas Diak’s examination of cosmic horror origins in "When the Stars Are Right." The anthology continues with diverse voices exploring supernatural themes. Paul Cornell contributes "A Ghost Story for Christmas," while Samantha Underhill offers "The Forest Gate." Caitlin R. Kiernan writes "Night Fishing," and Francesco Tignini presents "The Traveler." F. Paul Wilson provides two distinct pieces: an essay on cosmic versus Abrahamic horror and a story named "The Last Bonneville." Angela Yuriko Smith adds "Lost Generations," Ramsey Campbell contributes "Concerto in Five Movements," and Nancy Kilpatrick writes "Mozaika." Nikki Sixx offers "Inkblot Succubus," Tim Lebbon presents "Laid to Rest," and Carol Gyzander closes the collection with "Call of the Void - L'appel du vide." Readers seeking traditional ghost stories may find some entries too abstract. Those interested in cosmic horror and modern interpretations of classic tropes will appreciate the range. The book suits fans of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy universe and those who enjoy essays on genre history alongside fiction.
