Dime Mystery Magazine
''Dime Mystery Magazine'' was an American pulp magazine published from 1932 to 1950 by Popular Publications. Titled ''Dime Mystery Book Magazine'' during its first nine months, it contained ordinary mystery stories, including a full-length novel in each issue, but it was competing with '' Detective Novels Magazine'' and ''Detective Classics'', two established magazines from a rival publisher, and failed to sell well. With the October 1933 issue the editorial policy changed, and it began publishing horror stories. Under the new policy, each story's protagonist had to struggle against something that appeared to be supernatural, but would be revealed to have an everyday explanation. The new genre became known as "weird menace" fiction; the publisher, Harry Steeger, was inspired to create the new policy by the gory dramatizations he had seen at the Grand Guignol theater in Paris. Stories based on supernatural events were rare in ''Dime Mystery'', but did occasionally appear. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thrilling Mystery
''Thrilling Mystery'' was an American pulp magazine published from 1935 to 1944. New York publisher Standard Magazines had a stable of magazines with the "Thrilling" prefix, including '' Thrilling Detective'', '' Thrilling Love'', and ''Thrilling Adventures'', but in 1935, Popular Publications, a rival publisher, launched a weird menace pulp titled '' Thrilling Mysteries.'' Standard Magazines sued over the use of the word "Thrilling", and Popular conceded, settling out of court. ''Thrilling Mysteries'' was cancelled after a single issue, and in October 1935 Standard began ''Thrilling Mystery''. Like ''Thrilling Mysteries'' this was a terror pulp, but it contained less sex and violence than most of the genre, and as a result, in the opinion of science fiction historian Mike Ashley, "the stories had greater originality, although they are not necessarily of better quality". Ashley singles out Carl Jacobi's "Satan's Kite", about a family cursed because of a theft from a temple in B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
