Sea Witch

The spawn of Dagon have a captive
Early femme peril

Something nice in the readers’ stockings in the form of another exquisite Virgil Finlay Weird Tales cover, this one for December 1937. Finlay had a standalone interior illustration in this issue, a real graveyard honey.

“And ere the tomb-thrown echoings have ceased,/The blue-eyed vampire, sated at her feast/Smiles bloodily against the leprous moon. ” –Sterling, A Wine of Wizardry

Finlay took on more usual interior illustration duties as well, such as this flame-dancer for Seabury Quinn’s “Flames of Vengeance.”

“A line of flame was rising, flickering, and dancing.”
