Weird Fiction web zines and web magazines are a rather problematic thing. Although you can always find some hidden story pearls, too often "inspired by" or "in the tradition of" the Weird Tale in truth means "bad pastiches of the works of far superior authors".
All the more surprised am I by the high quality standards of the new free PDF magazine Arkham Tales whose stories are clearly in the tradition of the classic Weird Tale, but are just as clearly based in respect for themes and methods of the classic writers of the Weird instead of slavish copying of all the worst aspects of their works.
I highly recommend going to the magazine's site and reading through it.
