Weird Tales June 1923 — Woman Flees Werewolf, 'The Evening Wolves'

In 1923 America, anxieties about the beast lurking beneath civilized domesticity found vivid form in pulp horror. This cover for the fourth issue of Weird Tales — 'The Unique Magazine' — depicts a terrified woman in a crimson dress recoiling from a snarling, fur-covered wolfman who has invaded her parlor. The gaslit domestic setting — lamp, dresser, framed art — makes the intrusion all the more visceral. Ghostly shapes drift at the bottom, layering supernatural dread onto primal animal terror.
