Fanzine that published a poem by Brian Stableford.

An interesting annual that went through a range of editors and publishers. The early issues reflected Phil May's renown for cartoons and jokes and the stories were usually humorous, certainly light hearted, and occasionally romantic, but over time it grew increasingly macabre, especially under its final editor Harry Thompson whose issues are almost all full of weird and supernatural stories.

Phobos is a semiannual print and electronic weird fiction magazine. We publish macabre, astounding, unsettling, thrilling, baffling, and terrifying stories in the tradition of Shirley Jackson, Ambrose Bierce, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Phoebe seeks to publish quality writing. Do not send formulaic writing, romance fiction, or greeting card poetry. We welcome experimental writing.

Subtitled "A magazine for young writers".

A light fiction detective magazine "with as fresh a slant as tomorrow's newspaper." The stories were illustrated with photographs of models. The men are shown fully clothed and generally intently examining clues. The women show a lot of leg.

One of the best-known of the movie "fan magazines," it carried fiction in its earlier years, principally novelizations of film scripts; by Oct-1957 it was a downmarket big slick with chatty personality pieces on film stars and copious advertising aimed at women (but no fiction).

Called the Atlanta Review of Race and Culture.

The foundation stone of MacFadden's sleazy publishing empire. Although a popular health-and-fitness magazine (much condemned by serious medical journals), it published a surprising amount of fiction -- to such an extent that "in the early thirties, it aped the general monthlies and ran fiction by popular authors like Warwick Deeping and Harold Bell Wright" (Theodore Peterson, Magazines in the Twentieth Century).
