Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first issues of Weird Tales Magazine, 100 Years of Weird is a masterful compendium of new and classic stories, flash fiction, essays, and poems from the giants of speculative fiction, including R. L. Stine, Laurell K. Hamilton, Ray Bradbury, H. P. Lovecraft, Tennessee Williams, and Isaac Asimov.

Marking a century of uniquely peculiar storytelling, each part of this anthology features a different genre from Cosmic Horror, Sword and Sorcery, Space Opera, to the Truly Weird—things too strange to publish elsewhere, and the magazine’s raison d’etre. Landmark stories such as “The Call of Cthulhu”, “Worms of the Earth”, and “Legal Rites” stand beside original stories and insightful essays from today’s masters of speculative fiction.

Full list of narrators: Scott Brick, Bronson Pinchot, Richard Brewer, Natalie Naudus, Joe Hempel, Dion Graham, Neil Hellegers, Zura Johnson, Simon Vance, Peter Berkrot, James Patrick Cronin, Gabrielle de Cuir, Grover Gardner, James Anderson Foster, Ramiz Monsef, Eric G. Dove, Hillary Huber, Stefan Rudnicki, Edoardo Ballerini, Robin Miles, Kirsten Potter, Vikas Adam, Kimberly Alexis.

What a treat. A wonderful book and must have for everyone that loves spooky. Each story new and old are captivating and I enjoyed all the wonderful narrators and everyone that was involved creating this special edition. Thank you

Wow

It's okay at best, there are some decent stories in here. Most notably 'The Worms of the Earth' and 'The Call of Cthulhu'.
Those stories carry the entire collection, and without them and the good narration, this would've been an instant refund for me.

It's also bloated with 'introductions' to the different genres/subgenres of weird fiction, as well as poems.

Unless you are a massive fan of weird fiction and already in possession of every other work of weird fiction, I'd pass on this one.

I'd also like to mention the irony of the earlier review on here complaining that the narrator doesn't know the 'proper' way to pronounce Cthulhu when he's pronouncing it the way closest to Lovecraft's intended pronunciation.

Very disappointed in this collection.

Barely worth the credit if I am honest

Lots of good stuff I already knew, and lots of stuff that was new to me. All awesome narrators. The editorial pieces were an unexpected highlight; love the history of the genre.

Great stories, great narrators

I wanted to like it, but there were too few classic stories, too many self- congratulatory essays and too many modern stories that just weren't good. The inclusion of Call of Cthulhu was just lazy, anyone that would read this collection has already got that story in a couple of formats. There were a couple of gems, but it just feels like 100 years of history should have more to offer.

could have been better

This is for true fans of the Weird Tales magazines and for those who enjoy conventions where authors wax poetic on the history of creature fantasy, how to build a good story, or name drop famous authors they’ve met. Seven of thirty-two segments were essays and another seven were classics from years gone by. As much as I enjoy anthologies, the new to me authors/stories that I really liked weren’t worth trudging through the rest.

On the plus side, the narrators were great, the Table of Contents separates everything (even if it doesn’t give the authors), and my favorite of the bunch (Up From Slavery) gave me a new author to look up in Victor Lavelle.

A Weird Tales lovefest and ‘Best Of’ curation

The very first story is 10 to 15 minutes In. 15 minutes of explaining what you are about to listen to and how wierd it is. It is wierd, I was captivated and just as we start to learn what is happening and why, the story ends. it was hard to keep listening past this. Such intrigued and then end. I hated it. The next story was interesting but the book should be called stories without endings.
