Weird Tales Magazine No. 371: The Undead Issue
Weird Tales Magazine
Why You'll Love This
The magazine that invented weird fiction is back, and it brought an army of the undead with it.
- Great if you want: short, sharp horror from established names and fresh voices
- The experience: eclectic and uneven — best read in single-story bursts
- The writing: Maberry curates range deliberately: tone and style shift story to story
- Skip if: you want cohesive depth — anthology variety means hit-or-miss quality
About This Book
The undead have never felt more alive than in this themed issue of the legendary Weird Tales Magazine. Edited by Jonathan Maberry, Issue 371 gathers original short stories, flash fiction, and poetry around a single irresistible obsession: monsters that refuse to stay dead. Zombies, vampires, mummies, revenants — they arrive in every shape and temperament, from the menacing to the darkly absurd. The collection doesn't chase a single mood; it chases the full, unsettling spectrum of what it means to hunger, to persist, and to come back wrong.
What makes this worth reading is the range. Maberry has assembled a mix of established names — including Stephen Graham Jones and James Roday Rodriguez — alongside voices readers may not yet know, and the contrast keeps each new piece feeling like a surprise. The format itself rewards readers who enjoy shorter, sharper fiction: stories end before they overstay their welcome, poems land like gut punches, and the essay adds unexpected texture. It's the kind of horror collection best read in stolen hours, one piece at a time, with the lights on — or deliberately off.
