Title: Most of These Stories Should Never Have Been Unearthed
Review: This anthology highlighted one story for each year of Weird Tales' publication from 1923 to 1954. In most cases, it seemed to include lesser-known works by the magazine's writers, including many pulpish, contrived, overlong, dated ones -- featuring a German werewolf; a Russian devil-man; and Lun Yurka, the Eurasian vampire out of the "high passes of the Far East." Many stories were indeed horrific, though not in the ways intended by their authors. Maybe this book showcases the stories that were the rule at the magazine, rather than the best ones.Another collection for pulp lovers is Weird Tales: Seven Decades of Terror (1997).
