The Thriller [1916]

The Thriller is an obscure magazine made up of unsold issues of The Black Cat, Short Stories and possibly other magazines. At this time it has been impossible to ascertain how many issues of The Thriller were published - the latest known is #4 in 1917.

A 1916 issue of The Black Cat contains an ad for The Thriller (probably #1) containing the August through November 1915 issues of The Black Cat.
