Short and clingy lingerie is de rigueur when worshipping the Black God

In the coils
Horns of a dilemma

C.L. Moore drew the long straw and got her story “The Black God’s Kiss” illustrated by Margaret Brundage on the October 1934 cover of Weird Tales. The site Galactic Central has a version of the cover in an alternate and brighter color scheme.

This issue also has one of Robert E. Howard’s early Conan stories, “The People of the Black Circle,” complete with an interior illustration by our friend Hugh Rankin.

“He heard Yasmina scream.”

This issue of Weird Tales is available to read and download at the Internet Archive.

  1. I was glad to read Jirel of Joiry wore more combat-appropriate gear than what Margaret Brundage dreamed up.

    • More Jirel and associated illustrations coming up next week (or at least one more, I’m working on it).
