Weird Sisters

The spiritual successor to the popular Tales of the Weird anthology Queens of the Abyss, published in 2020. An anthology delivering one of the core missions of the Tales of the Weird series bringing unjustly forgotten authors of the genre back into the limelight. Featuring thorough notes by Mike Ashley on the fascinating lives and publishing history of these Queens of Pulp. Veteran anthology editor Mike Ashley returns with a collection of rare stories by women writers from the hayday of Weird Tales and its chilling pulp contemporaries. Featuring a riot of monsters, murderesses and madness from a mixture of lesser-known writers and some surprises such as Lucy M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, this new selection also includes a 1980s story by Tanith Lee, one of the great proponents of Weird Tales magazine's revival era, and a recently discovered tale by the fantasy writer Evangeline Walton.
