    We love control.  The ability to predict and organise our lives as we want them. As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.

    WEIRD TALES: 100 Essential...

    Between 1923 and 1954, Weird Tales magazine shaped the landscape of modern horror, fantasy, and science fiction. It was the crucible of cosmic terror, sword-and-sorcery, and supernatural fiction, a publication that launched the careers of some of the twentieth century’s most enduring genre writers. 
WEIRD TALES presents a carefully curated selection of standout stories from the magazine’s golden age. This anthology brings together a wide spectrum of speculative fiction, ranging from mythic fantasy and Gothic mystery to tales of metaphysical horror and existential dread. 
Included are key works by foundational figures such as H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard, alongside stories by lesser-known (but no less compelling) contributors. Together, these works reflect the evolving anxieties of the early twentieth century: fears of science and progress, the collapse of known realities, and humanity’s uncertain place in a vast, indifferent cosmos. 
To better highlight the thematic richness of the material, the anthology is divided into twelve distinct sections, each with its own introduction: 
Cosmic Horror (divided over 3 of the 12 sections), Caverns & Ghouls, Fantasy Realms, Haunted & Cursed, Monsters & Spectres, Mysteries & Rituals, Science & Body Horror, Sea & Polar Horror, Vampires & Werewolves, Weird Wilderness 
Organized to reflect both thematic range and literary influence, this volume offers listeners a unique opportunity to explore the DNA of modern genre fiction in its raw, original form. 
Whether approached as a historical archive, a collection of literary curiosities, or a gallery of timeless nightmares, WEIRD TALES is an indispensable addition to the library of any serious reader of the weird, the fantastic, or the macabre.
