Issue Checklist

Hutchinson's Story Magazine

Total Issues: 125

Essentially this was always a flamboyant pulp that tried to masquerade as a slick for some years but was always second-rate. It published a wide range of fiction, though by the mid/late 1920s placed the emphasis on romance, mystery and intrigue.

Published "Spook Stories" by E.F. Benson and "Crook Stories" by Sax Rohmer. Other authors include Achmed Abdullah, Stacey Aumonier, H. Mortimer Batten, Marjorie Bowen, Joseph Conrad ("Suspense!" Feb-Aug 1925), Richmal Crompton, Gilbert Frankau, H. Rider Haggard (serialized "She Meets Allan" 1919, "Wisdom's Daughter" 1922/1923, "Heu-Heu, or The Monster" 1924), Cosmo Hamilton, Robert Hichens, Herbert Jenkins, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Elinor Mordaunt, Douglas Newton, Baroness Orczy (serialized "Sir Percy Hits Back" 1927), Eden Phillpotts, Kathlyn Rhodes, Rafael Sabatini, Sapper, Edmund Snell, H. DeVere Stacpoole, Russell Thorndyke, Hugh Walpole, Alec Waugh.

The cover title was changed to Hutchinson's Magazine in Apr-1920, and then back to Hutchinson's Story-Magazine in Jun-1929; but the title remained as Hutchinson's Story Magazine.
