1942年3月刊 《詭麗幻譚 》（Weird Tales）是一份由J·C·亨內伯格（J. C. Henneberger）和J·M·蘭辛格（J. M. Lansinger）於1922年創辦的美國恐怖 、奇幻 雜誌。第一期為1923年3月版，當年2月18日開始售賣[1] [2]
它在創刊的頭一年就遇到財政危機，法恩斯沃思·萊特 在1924年當上主編之後情況開始好轉。 自1928年的《克蘇魯的呼喚 》開始，H·P·洛夫克拉夫特 就一直在該雜誌上連載他的克蘇魯神話 系列故事。發表過作品的作家還包括羅伯特·歐文·霍華德 （蠻王柯南 系列）、西贝里·奎因 （朱尔·葛兰丁 系列）、克拉克·阿什頓·史密斯 、埃德加·霍夫曼·普萊斯 、羅伯特·布洛克 和愛德蒙·漢密爾頓 。
1940年因為法恩斯沃思·萊特病重，多蘿西·麦基尔雷思（Dorothy McIlwraith）擔任主編，雜誌走上下坡路，1954年停刊。經過多方努力，1988年復刊。1990年代中期，它一度改名《奇幻恐怖世界》（Worlds of Fantasy & Horror），1998年改回原名。
