In celebration of the venerable magazine’s 85th anniversary, the editors of Weird Tales<\/span><\/a> are compiling a list of the 85 weirdest storytellers of the past 85 years<\/a> and they need your help. And they are looking far afield from the magazine.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re NOT<\/span> just talking about WEIRD TALES authors, though they\u2019re certainly eligible; no, we\u2019re thinking bigger than that. Who do you think has made the weirdest fiction, the weirdest movies, the weirdest plays, the weirdest narrative art, the weirdest poems and songs, since 1923? That\u2019s the list we\u2019re after: the greatest talespinners of the weird, unearthly, and bizarre, working in every imaginable storytelling form and medium.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to take suggestions from our readers and contributors through Dec. 31, 2007. Email your ideas to top85 (at) weirdtales (dot) net. Suggest as much and as often as you like \u2014 just make sure you give us the NAME<\/span> of the creator you\u2019re nominating, as well as the REASON<\/span> you think they should be on the list. In January, five randomly drawn participants will win a free copy of Weird Tales: The Twenty-First Century, Vol. 1<\/span><\/a> (or another book if they\u2019ve already got that one).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
