Fun stuff. I liked the "Arabian" soundtrack and they definitely got some solid Hollywood actors to do the shows. A pity we don't have any of the other recordings. Thanks, Jason. You're right, old time shows like that were sort of the audiobooks of the era.

This is possibly the best blog devoted to Weird Tales out there: tellersofweirdtales.blogspot.com/Authors, artists, etc... If they appeared in WT, Hanley probably has written a post on them.

Seabury Quinn was Weird Tales' most popular author. It can be argued that a lot of what he wrote was hackwork, but he could do quality in a pinch. One example is his novella, Roads, which saw print in the January 1938 Weird Tales (which actually went on sale in December 1937). I had low expectations when I read it, but I have to say this is one of the better Christmas stories I've read. It is definitely the best "Sword & Sorcery Christmas" tale I've ever read. Quinn seems to be channeling/paying homage to REH, who had been dead little over a year It's considered a minor classic amongst WT aficionados and was the first illustrated book Arkham House ever published. If you can find it, check it out this Yuletide season. www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?65371Our own Jason Aiken gives it the "Pulp Crazy" treatment here:
