With sunset pools of flaming foam

Like opened crucibles of Hell

Glows redly, as a burning Rome

Beneath its red malevolanace

Where swooning orbs recline

Are etched grotesque and curious trees

With shapes of strange outline.


WEIRD WHISPERINGS
by Julius Schwartz

Arthur B. Reeve, creator of the famous scientific-sleuth, Craig Kennedy, makes his bow to Weird Tales readers with a novelette in the May issue!... Jack Binder, brother of the popular author Eando Binder, will do most of the illustrating for Weird commencing with the April number.... C. L. Moore has pulled a "Clark Ashton Smith" and has drawn the illustration for her forthcoming yarn in WT "Julhui".... There will be no women on Weird Tales' covers for two consecutive issues this year, April and May!
