Weird Tales vol 08 number 06 (December 1926) - featured story: The Metal Giants by Edmond Hamilton. Cover art by Joseph Doolin. The tagline reads The Unique Magazine. The cover price is 25 cents. A large, dark humanoid figure with a metallic texture dominates the upper two-thirds of the frame. This figure has a black, featureless head shape with a small white area at the top. The torso and arms are dark grey and brown. The figure's left hand is large and dark. The figure's right arm extends down towards a small, green house with a white-trimmed window and a dark roof. Behind the giant, the background is a bright yellow and orange gradient. To the right of the house is a tall, red building with a white-trimmed window and a dark doorway. In the bottom foreground, several people are visible. A man with a bald head and tan skin looks toward the right. To his right, a woman with blonde hair is visible from the shoulders up. To the left of the bald man, a man with dark hair and a white shirt looks upward. Other figures with various skin tones and hair colors are partially visible, some with hands raised toward the sky. One figure in the lower left wears a brown garment. A portion of a person's arm and shoulder in a dark brown sleeve appears in the bottom left corner. The bottom section of the illustration is composed of overlapping heads and shoulders of various individuals positioned below the massive dark figure and the buildings.

    'Die Erinnerungsfotografen'

    Was passiert eigentlich, wenn man diese Welt verlässt? Man kommt in ein Fotoatelier und kann sich die Bilder seines Lebens noch einmal anschauen.
    3 Schicksale treffen hier aufeinander, wobei das letzte Schicksal eine andere Wendung einschlägt.
    Einfühlsam, etwas melancholisch, aber auch irgendwie mit Hoffnung gepaart.
    Ein ruhiges Buch, das zum Schmunzeln einlädt.
