WEIRD TALES

Volume 17, Number 3

April/May, 1931

 

Cover by C.C. Senf.

 

Includes the story The Children of the Night by Robert E. Howard. This story is notable because earlier Howard creations Bran Mak Morn and The Dark Man cult are mentioned, as are Lovecraft creations such as Cthulhu and the Necronomicon, thus linking the two writers' creations into one world. It is also the first appearance of the arcane tome Nameless Cults, which would be incorporated into the Cthulhu mythos.

 

Also features the poem Fungi from Yuggoth: 10. Alienation by H. P. Lovecraft.
