BEYOND FANTASY FICTION. (Ten issues, all published).

Author's include Damon Knight, Frank Robinson, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, John Wyndham, Algis Budrys, Zenna Henderson, Jerome Bixby, Philip Jose Farmer, Fredric Brown, and others. It could not duplicate the audience of Campbell's Unknown which failed due to WWII paper shortages. This magazine's content was not broad based fantasy fiction, while it did publish quality fiction, it stayed away from traditional fantasy and popular sword and sorcery. It also got lost in the SF digest magazine boom. The covers of the first two issues are by Richard Powers.

FANTASY REVIEW [later SCIENCE-FANTASY REVIEW]. (all published).
Ilford, Essex: Walter H. Gillings, 1947-1950. Octavo, eighteen issues, pictorial self wrappers, stapled. A complete file of the eighteen issues published prior to incorporation as supplements in Gillings' professional magazine SCIENCE-FANTASY. "FANTASY REVIEW" was the title Gillings gave to his postwar revival of SCIENTIFICTION. Professionally printed as a neat twenty-page booklet (later growing to thirty-two and even forty pages), it was edited with Gillings' usual polish. Gillings also wrote most of the contents, often under such pen names as Thomas Sheridan and Geoffrey Giles, and the magazine contains an immense amount of news of all kinds, as well as intelligent reviews and criticism. FR was certainly the most mature news magazine British fandom had produced, and it is still one of the most elaborate of its kind." - Tymn and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 824-25. [Reference: Pavlat and Evans, Fanzine Index (1965), p. 40 and p. 96].
