Armchair Fiction presents paperback collections of the best in classic horror short stories. “Horror Gems, Volume 17, The Best of Weird Tales, 1923, Pt. Two; Otis Adelbert Kline and Others.” This is the second of two Horror Gems collections celebrating the classic works of “The Unique Magazine,” Weird Tales. With so many great tales to cull from the annals of Weird Tales’ inaugural year, there was just no way they could all be contained in one mere volume, so we’ve collected even more of those delectable 1923 fright stories to help you bite your nails to the bone and lose plenty of sleep at night. Unmasked horror awaits you in Anthony M. Rud’s “A Square of Canvas,” where a psychotic painter tells the ghastly secret behind his monstrous and unnerving talent; it’s a secret that will shock you. For even more scares, follow two soldiers as they explore a haunted castle where they discover that something deceptively sinister lurks among the ruins in Otis Adelbert Kline’s “The Cup of Blood.” Then join us for a horrific seaside romp in Sonia Greene’s “The Invisible Monster.” And don’t forget Loual B. Sugarman’s “The Gray Death” where an extraordinary monster strikes terror into the hearts of men. These and more fantastic tales abound in Armchair Fiction’s latest Horror Gems collection. The contents are as follows: THE CUP OF BLOOD By Otis Adelbert Kline; A SQUARE OF CANVAS By Anthony M. Rud; THE INVISIBLE MONSTER By Sonia Greene & Howard Phillips Lovecraft; MANDRAKE By Adam Hull Shirk; THE GRAY DEATH By Loual B. Sugarman; THE CORPSE ON THE THIRD SLAB By Otis Adelbert Kline; THE BLOODSTAINED PARASOL By James Ravenscroft; SIX FEET OF WILLOW GREEN By Carroll F. Michener; THE MOON TERROR A. G. Birch
