Features the weird fiction version of the title story by C. L. Moore, A. Merritt, H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Frank Belknap Long; Illustrated by David Ireland (in sort of a Virgil Finlay style). The story was written as a "challenge" in 1935. Fantasy Magazine commissioned two stories in 1935 to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. The editor of the pulp magazine asked five science fiction authors and five weird fiction authors to write two tales, written around the title "The Challenge From Beyond." The Science Fiction authors were: Stanley G. Weinbaum, Donald Wandrei, Edward E. Smith, Harl Vincent, and Murray Leinster (it is not included in this book, but a later Necronomicon Press chapbook published both versions).
