Weird Tales (Canadian Edition)
This issue of *Weird Tales* magazine contains ten stories of fantasy, science fiction, and weird horror fiction. August Derleth's novelette "The Watcher from the Sky" concerns the disappearance and mysterious return of Andrew Phelan, a student of divinity from Boston, who appears in the protagonist Abel Keane's locked room wearing alien garments and speaking telepathically of a place called Celaeno. Manly Banister's "Devil Dog" involves jungle creatures useful for travel, while Allison V. Harding's "Fog Country" explores a region where residents cannot escape. Manly Wade Wellman's "The Dai Sword" features occult knowledge surrounding a dangerous blade. Robert Bloch's "One Way to Mars" addresses the practical problem of return travel. Edmond Hamilton's "The Inn Outside the World" concerns an aged statesman troubled by human conflict. Carl Jacobi's "Carnaby's Fish" and Ray Bradbury's "The Dead Man" are brevity-format pieces. Additional contributions include "Quaking Providence" by Reeder Gould and "The Ghost Punch" by Hannes Bok.
