Weird Tales, Vol. 9 No. 2

This February 1927 issue of Weird Tales features seven stories and novellas across diverse supernatural and scientific genres. "The Man Who Cast No Shadow" by Seabury Quinn presents Jules de Grandin, the magazine's recurring psychic detective character, investigating an ancient legend that intrudes upon modern New Jersey. Edmond Hamilton contributes "The Atomic Conquerors," an invasion narrative in which hostile beings emerge from an infra-universe hidden within a grain of sand. "The Brimstone Cat" by Ellen M. Ramsay blends witchcraft with Elizabethan history. "Drome" (Part 2) by John Martin Leahy continues a weird-scientific serial featuring subterranean monsters beneath Mount Rainier. Additional stories include Victor Rousseau's "The Fetish of the Waxworks," featuring surgeon-detective Dr. Ivan Brodsky; Bassett Morgan's jungle horror "The Head"; and works by other contributors exploring horror, folk legend, and the supernatural.
