Weird Tales, Vol. II No. 3

This issue of Weird Tales contains the serialized novel "The Amazing Adventure of Joe Scranton," in which a man finds his consciousness transferred into another man's body. The protagonist, Joe, awakens in the body of Jack Walsh, a London laborer with a wife (Liz) and sister-in-law (Jane). Desperate and displaced, Joe works at menial tasks like warehouse sweeping to support Jack's physical body, all while planning to cross the Atlantic home to Wisconsin to confront the man inhabiting his own body—a threat to his wife Angeline. Joe resolves that if he cannot reclaim his original form, he will kill the usurper.

The issue also features "The Phantom Farm House" by Seabury Quinn, a horror story involving spectral phenomena and mysterious voices in a clearing. Additionally, the magazine includes period advertisements and a news brief about an actual murder-suicide in Michigan.
