Here are some basic resources, if you're interested in *Weird Tales*. I aim to populate this page further for my own purposes; however, I thought I'd share this in case a rare person stumbles upon it who has never heard of *Weird Tales* and, reading my blog, finds their curiosity stirred.

Digital Resources
Misktonic University *Weird Tales* Catalog - This is a great resource for basic archival information regarding what stories and what authors published in each specific issue of *Weird Tales.* It also includes images of each cover.
Pulp Rack - A very useful reference site with information about the history of pulp fiction.
Relevant Books
Weinberg, Robert. *The Weird Tales Story.* (Borgo Press, 1999). This is a straightforward history of the magazine with a lot of inside information related by writers who wrote for the magazine. It's really great for an overview of the history of the magazine's genesis and a description of the editors and their influences.
Fiction Anthologies
Betancourt, John Gregory. *The Best of Weird Tales: 1923* (Borgo Press, 1997). This is an anthology that focuses on the first year of *Weird Tales* and attempts to highlight the best stories published during that year. This is widely available.
Dziemianowicz, Stefan R. *Weird Tales: 32 Unearthed Horrors.* A great anthology of stories from *Weird Tales* that focuses on what were--until 1988, when this anthology was released--more rare and hard to find stories.
