Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Weird Tales, Volume 1, Number 1, March 1923: The unique magazine by Various" is a pulp magazine published in 1923. Founded by J. C. Henneberger and J. M. Lansinger, this debut issue launched what would become a legendary publication in fantasy and horror fiction. Under editor Edwin Baird, the magazine introduced early works by writers who would shape the genre, including H. P. Lovecraft, Seabury Quinn, and Clark Ashton Smith. Despite initial financial struggles, this first issue marked the beginning of a magazine dedicated to unusual, supernatural stories that had never before found a specialized home.
