Weird Tales (Canadian Edition)

Museum Catalog Entry *Weird Tales* (Volume 38, Number 16) presents science fiction and supernatural fiction. The lead novelette, "The Watcher from the Sky" by August Derleth, concerns a Boston divinity student, Abel Keane, who discovers a mysterious stranger named Andrew Phelan asleep in his locked room. Phelan claims to have traveled to a place called Celaeno and communicates through thought-transmission. The story references an unexplained fire that destroyed portions of a Massachusetts coastal town, hinting at cosmic horror. The issue includes Robert Bloch's "One Way to Mars," examining the problem of returning from Mars travel; Edmond Hamilton's "The Inn Outside the World," featuring a secret brotherhood permitting encounters between historical figures; Ray Bradbury's "The Dead Man"; and shorter works by Manly Wade Wellman, Carl Jacobi, and others exploring supernatural and adventure themes.
