Weird Tales November — 'Witch-House' Seabury Quinn Cover, Rising Specter
The supernatural resurrection concept drives this lurid pulp cover: a nude blonde woman rises apparition-like beside a gravestone reading 'Kristiina Friebergh, Born —, Died 1692,' a lit candle and small white cat at her feet suggesting occult ritual. The deep cobalt blue background and dramatic candlelight create an atmosphere of gothic supernatural menace, tied to Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin story 'Witch-House' — a tale of a master of the supernatural confronting colonial-era witchcraft.
Holy smokes, a naked witch rising from a 1692 grave with a cat and a candle — Mom would absolutely confiscate this if she found it under my mattress. That's exactly why I paid my two bits for it.
