Magazine of Horror Contents
This issue contains diverse pulp fiction: "The Nameless Mummy," featuring museum curator Peter Venn, who becomes mysteriously drawn to an enigmatic woman as he prepares to examine a two-thousand-year-old Egyptian mummy, eventually discovering hieratic inscriptions referencing Caesar. "Raymond the Golden," by David H. Keller, recounts an epic fantasy-tinged narrative where the last prince of the Hubelaires faces the conquering Rathlings under King Sardain, featuring poetic song and tragic sacrifice culminating in bloodshed and vengeance. A science-fiction story in Keller's "Weird Tales" includes a drug analyst's fantastical narrative involving consciousness transference into animal bodies, particularly a tiger. Additional stories address wartime espionage, an enigmatic cursed rope in a desert setting, and "The Devil's Bride," featuring detective fiction character Jules de Grandin investigating supernatural murders involving a criminal magician and mysterious deaths in a graveyard scene. The issue combines horror, fantasy, detective, and strange science fiction elements across multiple narratives.
