Weird Tales Presents: Asylum Atrocities, by Various

Let's all hope that madness isn't catching because we have here for your pleasure a veritable buffet of items of insanity, terror tales of the twisted sort to put you in the mindset of that of the gibbering lunatic, sequestered away in an asylum where they can no longer do harm to themselves or anyone else... Or at least... That's what they WANT you to think! Those mental madmen at Weird Tales magazine have concocted a host of horrible horrors for you to wrap your brain around. Slip into a straitjacket and stop by these padded rooms of your nightmares! (Summary by Ben Tucker)

Can I have the following authors added to the catalog?
Mollie Frank Ellis (?-?)
Tessida Swinges (?-?)
James Cocks (?-?)
Nellie Cravey Gillmore (?-?)
E. Thayles Emmons (1882-1971)

Once they're added, I can update the metadata of each track with the author and source.

Thanks!

Great! Thank you! Hopefully an MC will come along soon and setup the MW, so I can get this thing kicked off.

Is this a group project or a solo one? Because the title says but the first post says 'soloist please note...' so I'm not sure which it's supposed to be

It's a group project... I thought I selected a collaborative project but I must've goofed something somewhere...

flavo5000 · Post by **flavo5000** » March 22nd, 2024, 3:43 pm

Ok, the first post has been updated to reflect that it's a group project now.

Post by **Rapunzelina** » March 22nd, 2024, 4:22 pm

Let's set this up then!

Post by **Rapunzelina** » March 22nd, 2024, 4:26 pm

You have a Magic Window!

I'll let you know once I've added the new authors.

Do we know if these are PD for non-US or have death dates?

Most have unknown death dates. The only two that are definitely not PD for non-US are The Lip and Two Hours of Death.

Would I be safe to claim 4 and 5 then?
