Weird Tales is American band Golden Smog's second album, released in 1998.
[2][3] The title comes from the pulp magazine Weird Tales; the cover art, by Margaret Brundage, is from the October 1933 issue.
Writing for AllMusic, music critic Michael Gallucci wrote of the album "...as expected, the best songwriters here (Gary Louris of the Jayhawks and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy) contribute Weird Tales' most solid tracks.
Club wrote the album "reveals that even a musical goof-off can develop into a potent band in its own right."
"[5] The Washington Post called the group's sound "melodic, economical -- if not especially ambitious -- country-rock.
