Weird Tales, July 1926

This issue of Weird Tales features the serial "Disappearing Bullets" by George J. Brenn and advertisements for an Anniversary Number combining May-July 1924 issues, which included fifty stories for fifty cents. Notable titles advertised include "The Sunken Land" by George W. Bayly and "The Weird Light" by Edward Everett Wright and Ralph Howard Wright.

The featured excerpt, though without clear byline, presents a mystery centered on Guam's Tenjo peak. Captain Richard Kent and Lieutenant Alcott investigate a nightly otherworldly shriek heard above the island. After discovering a New York Times dated March 5, 1925, mysteriously arrived at their remote location, Kent attempts a nocturnal high-altitude flight in a specially equipped VR aircraft. As he ascends past forty-three thousand feet—unprecedented altitude—the plane experiences antigravity effects and is drawn upward by tremendous suction toward a strange, ring-shaped opening suspended in the air, fringed with smoldering fires. The narrative blends military-scientific fiction with supernatural horror, exploring incomprehensible aerial phenomena over the Pacific.
