Slick publication that published fiction, poetry and articles and had the occasional name that was reasonably well known.

Fanzine.

The most famous British humorous paper, for many years it was subtitled "The London Charivari." Achieved a circulation of circa 40,000 by 1860. Amidst its amusing essays and cartoons (the latter by Richard Doyle, John Tenniel, George du Maurier and many others), it has published a good deal of fiction, mostly in the form of short funny sketches and storyettes, some of which subsequently went to make up celebrated "novels," e.g. George & Weedon Grossmith's The Diary of a Nobody (1892) and H.F. Ellis's The Papers of A.J. Wentworth, B.A. (1949).

Horror magazine featuring a mixture of shock and flash fiction right through to to erotic poetry .

Promising "Exciting Crime Fiction", Pursued was launched as a companion to Murder when Decker Publications acquired the latter title, with the first issue labelled v1 #4 to match the numbering of Murder. It lasted a mere two issues.

The Pursuit Detective Story Magazine was launched by Star Publications in September 1953 but was really a throwback to the no-nonsense pulps of the 1940s. After a dozen (mainly) bimonthly issues, the formula was popular enough for the publisher to launch a second title, Hunted Detective Story Magazine, which was identical to Pursuit and appeared in alternate months. Both magazines ran for a further two years before folding at the end of 1956.

Australian crime magazine reprinting from American magazines such as The Pursuit Detective Story Magazine and Hunted Detective Story Magazine.
