Weird Tales, Vol. V No. 1

This January 1925 issue of *Weird Tales* contains diverse fiction across multiple genres. The featured story "Invaders From Outside" by J. Schlossel describes a planetary catastrophe: a dark world hurtles toward the Twelve Confederate Worlds—an ancient interplanetary civilization spanning Mars, the Moon, and Jupiter's moons—which have enjoyed perpetual peace and advanced civilization for eons. Other contents include "The Electric Chair" by George Waight (depicting death or unknown horror), "As Obligated" by Armstrong Livingston (supernatural tale involving a bewitched bathroom bell), "The Rajah's Gift" by E. Hoffmann Price (Oriental adventure), "The Fireplace" by Henry S. Whitehead (ghostly murder revenge), and "When We Killed Thompson" by Lenore E. Chaney (thirty-year delusion of guilt). Additional stories feature werewolves, automobiles, sea monsters, prehistoric dangers, Haitian death, and spectral phenomena. The issue also includes "Wings of Power," a three-part pseudo-scientific novel by Lady Anne Bonny, and concludes the serialized "Valley of Teeheemen."
