Farnsworth Wright (1888 – 1940) was the editor of the pulp magazineWeird Tales during the magazine's heyday, editing 179 issues from November 1924-March 1940. Jack Williamson called Wright "the first great fantasy editor".
Life and career
Early life and Army service
Wright was born in California, and educated at the University of Nevada and the University of Washington.
Wright's mother taught music and inspired in him his zeal for the classics and for art; he loved poetry and later encouraged its appearance in Weird Tales, making it one of the few pulp markets for verse. His first job was as a reporter, but he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1917 and served in the infantry in World War I.
Weird Tales, The Moon Terror and Oriental Stories/Magic Carpet Magazine
Wright was working as a music critic for the Chicago Herald and Examiner when he began his association with Weird Tales, founded in 1923. At first serving as chief manuscript reader, he replaced founding editor Edwin Baird in 1924 when the latter was fired by publisher J. C. Henneberger.

Horror Story "The Closing Hand" by Farnsworth Wright (Female voice)
A reading of the short story "The Closing Hand" by Farnsworth Wright.
This story was published in the very first issue of Weird Tales magazine, in 1923. Farnsworth Wright was born in 1888. He wrote several stories for early issues of Weird Tales (including this one). In 1921, he developed Parkinson's disease, but in 1928 he became the editor for Weird Tales magazine, after the position had been turned down by H.P. Lovecraft. Wright was the most successful editor for Weird Tales, and is likely a major contributing factor to the magazine's lasting influence. He remained editor until 1940, when he was too sick to continue working. He died a few months later.

'The wind howled until the house quaked; it shrilled past the eaves and fled across the fields like a hunted ghost.
And now the girl's pounding pulses drowned out the screaming of the wind, for the presence had invaded her bedroom!'

Thethought of meteors terrifies me. They have a disagreeable habit of coming down and killing people at the most inopportune times. That is why I was so startled when I saw a large object hurtling toward me out of the sky
“Haunted houses are nothing but superstition. They exist only in the imagination.”

Children of Horror/ Legion of Ghouls...
Tonight,
Farnsworth Wright wants to hold your hand from his cold grave. This is his rare, ghost tale—“The Closing Hand” from the first issue of Weird Tales March 1923.
Enjoy.
A reading of the short story "The Closing Hand" by Farnsworth Wright.
This story was published in the very first issue of Weird Tales magazine, in 1923. Farnsworth Wright was born in 1888. He wrote several stories for early issues of Weird Tales (including this one). In 1921, he developed Parkinson's disease, but in 1928 he became the editor for Weird Tales magazine, after the position had been turned down by H.P. Lovecraft. Wright was the most successful editor for Weird Tales, and is likely a major contributing factor to the magazine's lasting influence. He remained editor until 1940, when he was too sick to continue working. He died a few months later. Weird Tales is a pulp fiction magazine focusing on weird stories, a combination of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Its first issue was published in February of 1923, it was published almost monthly until 1940, then bi-monthly, and then irregularly after that. The most recent issue was published in 2019. This story has entered the public domain in the US since it was originally published prior to 1925.

Children of Horror/ Legion of Ghouls,
Tonight,
We present the great Farnsworth Wright and his rare but terrifying 'The Closing Hand'.
Devilishly devoted to Halloween and horror may your souls always be!

Farnsworth Wright (1888 – 1940) was the editor of the pulp magazineWeird Tales during the magazine's heyday, editing 179 issues from November 1924-March 1940. Jack Williamson called Wright "the first great fantasy editor".
Life and career
Early life and Army service
Wright was born in California, and educated at the University of Nevada and the University of Washington.
Wright's mother taught music and inspired in him his zeal for the classics and for art; he loved poetry and later encouraged its appearance in Weird Tales, making it one of the few pulp markets for verse. His first job was as a reporter, but he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1917 and served in the infantry in World War I.
Weird Tales, The Moon Terror and Oriental Stories/Magic Carpet Magazine
Wright was working as a music critic for the Chicago Herald and Examiner when he began his association with Weird Tales, founded in 1923. At first serving as chief manuscript reader, he replaced founding editor Edwin Baird in 1924 when the latter was fired by publisher J. C. Henneberger.
