Born with wings no human was ever meant to possess, a boy grows up caught between the world of men and the skies that beckon him. But his extraordinary gift carries a terrible price, and the choice between love and freedom may cost him everything. He That Hath Wings by Edmond Hamilton. That’s next on The Weird Tales Reborn Podcast.

Edmond Hamilton was among the first writers to make a living from science fiction, but some of his most unusual work appeared in the pages of Weird Tales. His imagination produced everything from the destruction of entire worlds to disturbing tales of creatures and beings that defied the laws of nature.

Hamilton later married fellow author Leigh Brackett, a remarkable writer in her own right who worked on the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back.

In today’s tale, Hamilton explores the darker side of being different, where the very thing that makes someone extraordinary can also become the source of their greatest suffering.

From the July 1938 issue of Weird Tales, turn to page 70, He That Hath Wings by Edmond Hamilton…

Next on The Weird Tales Reborn Podcast, A blinding snowstorm leaves a lone driver stranded in the frozen hills, with nothing but a coffin for company. But as the night deepens, something begins to happen that defies explanation, and the terrible secret of his cargo may be more than he bargained for. The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi.
