Weird Tales March 1946 — Skeletal Sorcerer in Graveyard, 'Twice Cursed'

Appearing on the March issue of Weird Tales, the legendary 'Unique Magazine' of horror and dark fantasy, this brooding cover depicts a gaunt, skeletal figure draped in a billowing crimson cape lurking amid a blighted graveyard. Twisted, bare trees frame the sinister apparition, while animal skulls and grave markers litter the blood-soaked earth below. The imagery illustrates Manly Wade Wellman's novelette 'Twice Cursed,' promising double-evil and ominous omens in classic Weird Tales fashion.

This cover cranks well past a haunted house and into full graveyard-sorcerer territory — skeletal figures, crimson capes, animal skulls, and twisted dead trees make it peak Weird Tales menace. Closer to an exploding crypt than a quiet library.
