Introduction

Tales of Weird Menace collects Howard’s Weird Menace and Yellow Peril yarns, many of which have never seen book publication in the U.S. It includes a hefty “Miscellanea” section featuring hard-to-find fragments and synopses. This volume is 473 pages, plus introductory material.

This volume was printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 300 copies, each individually numbered. Cover design and painting by Jim & Ruth Keegan; introduction by Don Herron; and edited by Rob Roehm.

Notes

Edited by Rob Roehm
First printing limited to 150 copies. Subsequent printings of 50 copies each up to a total of 300 copies.
"The Story Thus Far" consists of the short paragraphs that appeared at the start of the second and third portions of “Skull-Face” as it appeared in WEIRD TALES. It is not known if REH wrote these or Farnsworth Wright.
