The (War) Thriller

A British story paper that ran for an amazing 589 issues, Thriller contained a complete mystery story (25,000 words) each issue, plus supporting serials, short stories or features. It published masses of crime, mystery and thriller serials and stories, many adapted from US sources. Noted for its stories by Leslie Charteris and Edgar Wallace, it also published Douglas Newton, Edmund Snell, Barry Perowne, Sydney Horler, Capt W.E. Johns and 'Maxwell Grant'.

The name changed slightly to The Thriller Library in 1937 and then to War Thriller in 1940.
