This is not a story about the Dero! This is a story about a lost people—a persuasive and haunting story about a people, in a not too distant future, who have been forgotten by history. And it is the story of a little group of courageous people, determined to prove that Death was a Myth!
No Hiding Place
Turnabout may not always be fair play in the gulfs between the stars. But so destructive and malicious are the Agronians of this story that we can readily forgive Richard Smith for filling their ship with an unexpected reversal of a victory technique almost too ghastly to contemplate. We have no sympathy for them—and neither has Mr. Smith. Still, we’re rather glad he decided to make human heroism the cornerstone of a most exciting tale of conflict in space.
It’s All Yours
It was a strange and bitter Earth over which the Chancellor ruled—a strange and deformed world. There were times when the Chancellor suspected that he really was a humanistic old fool, but this seemed to be his destiny and it was difficult to be anything else. Human, like all other organic life on Earth, was dying. Where it spawned, it spawned monsters. What was to be the answer?
Exile from Space
“They” worried about the impression she’d make. Who could imagine that she’d fall in love, passionately, the way others of her blood must have done?
Be It Ever Thus
Men have fought and died for life and liberty since the beginning of time, and they will continue the fight until time finally comes to an end. Here is a thoroughly readable story about just such a situation—a story which could well be a forecast of the chilling future of your children and ours.

Collected in this anthology are over two hundred thousand words of some of the greatest stories ever published in the pages of 'Weird Tales'. Included are: 'Red Nails' by Robert E. Howard 'The Tree of Life' by C. L. Moore 'Birthmark' by Seabury Quinn 'Spider Mansion' by Fritz Leiber 'Evolution Island' by Edmond Hamilton 'The Monkey Spoons' by Mary Elizabeth Counselman 'The Diamond Lens' by Fitz-James O’Brien 'The Dunwich Horror' by H. P. Lovecraft 'The Salem Horror' by Henry Kuttner 'The Haunted Burglar' by W. C. Morrow 'The Lost Gods' by Dorothy Quick 'The Terror Of The Water-Tank' by William Hope Hodgson 'The White Feather Hex' by Don Peterson 'The Death of Ilalotha' by Clark Ashton Smith 'Each Man Kills' by Victoria Glad 'The Disc Recorder' by August Derleth 'The Doors of Death' by Arthur B.

Иллэя
Действие повести разворачивается в будущем. Земляне смогли освоить подпространство и осваивают иные миры, превращая их в колонии. Главный герой Фёдор – добродушный парень двадцати лет. На корабле, где летит он, происходит авария, и он выныривает в обычном пространстве у звезды Сорок Эридана. Недалеко им обнаружена неизвестная планета, на которой вода и кислород. Вернуться на Землю невозможно.
Начало
Действие повести разворачивается в доисторическом прошлом. Главный герой – существо по имени Саф. Его страна населена такими же, как он, людьми. Все граждане этой страны подчинены воле единого информационного поля, которое полностью управляет ими. В обществе были искоренены чувства и эмоции. Саф – «винтик» этой бесчувственной государственной системы и с годами забыл свою детскую эмоциональность. Он случайно оказывается один на межпланетном корабле, когда его планета погибает. Он остаётся без контроля и присмотра своего общества, и в нём начинают просыпаться давно заснувшие чувства. Он задумывает возродить новую цивилизацию на другой планете. Но как это сделать, ведь он бесполый человек – вершина генной инженерии? У него должно всё получиться. На его корабле есть тела людей, для проведения бесчеловечного эксперимента, но теперь этому эксперименту не бывать. С помощью этих тел и совершенных технологий своей погибшей планеты он возродит людской род.
