Weird Tales is often called "The Unique Magazine" and is famous for launching the careers of the "Big Three" pulp authors: Lovecraft, Smith, and Robert E. Howard. Original copies from this era are highly collectible.
This specific issue contains works from some of the most influential writers of early 20th-century speculative fiction:
- H.P. Lovecraft: A poem titled "Hesperia" from his Fungi from Yuggoth cycle.
- Clark Ashton Smith: The poem "Fellowship".
- August Derleth: The short story "Mrs. Bentley's Daughter".
- Edmond Hamilton: The short story "The Mind-Master".
- Ralph Milne Farley: Part 2 of "Another Dracula?".
- Mark Twain: A non-genre reprint titled "A Dying Man's Confession".
The front cover retains recognisable colour and artwork but shows edge and corner deterioration, while the back cover is just toned. The spine show paper loss and splitting across much of its length.
