Weird Tales
''Weird Tales'' is an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine first published in March 1923. It ceased its original run in September 1954, after 279 issues, but has since been revived. The magazine was set up in Chicago by J. C. Henneberger, an ex-journalist with a taste for the macabre. Edwin Baird was the first editor of the monthly, assisted by Farnsworth Wright.〔Ashley, pp. 1000-1003.〕 The subgenre pioneered by ''Weird Tales'' writers has come to be called "weird fiction". The magazine's office were initially at 450 North Michigan Ave, Chicago, but later moved north to 840 North Michigan Ave.
==Edwin Baird (editor March 1923 – October 1924)==
Baird first published some of ''Weird Tales most famous writers, including H. P. Lovecraft, C. M. Eddy, Jr., Clark Ashton Smith and Seabury Quinn, author of the hugely popular Jules de Grandin stories. The magazine lost a considerable amount of money under Baird's editorship, however—running through $11,000 in capital and amassing a $40,000 debt—and he was fired after 13 issues.〔Carter, pp. 35-37.〕
Henneberger offered the job to Lovecraft, who declined, citing his reluctance to relocate to Chicago; "think of the tragedy of such a move for an aged antiquarian," the 34-year-old writer declared.〔H. P. Lovecraft, letter to Frank Belknap Long, March 21, 1924; cited in Carter, p. 43.〕
The magazine also became the subject of controversy after a story by C. M. Eddy, Jr. was published in the May–July 1924 issue, "The Loved Dead", that briefly mentioned necrophilia. There was a public outcry and according to Eddy, ''Weird Tales'' was removed from several newsstands as a result,〔Weinberg,p.22〕 but also the publicity regarding the story resulted in increased sales and helped to save the imperiled magazine from bankruptcy.
