fiction in translation was a huge part of Farnsworth Wright's vision for the new genre of weird fiction being created in the pages of WEIRD TALES! read about it, the history of weird fic in translation, and some examples all in this book!
On this day in 1922, the first issue of the pioneering horror magazine Weird Tales was published. Its second editor, Farnsworth Wright, would turn the publication into a powerhouse for translated literature, which is documented in our collection Night Fears (@geoliminal.bsky.social)
