THE FANTASY FAN: THE FAN'S OWN MAGAZINE.
Elizabeth, New Jersey: Charles D. Hornig, 1933-1935. Octavo, 18 issues, printed or self wrappers. The first important weird fiction fanzine, and one of the most desirable of the fanzines of the thirties. For two years it published news and fiction related to the genre. Stories first published in THE FANTASY FAN include H. P. Lovecraft's "The Other Gods" and "From Beyond," Clark Ashton Smith's "The Epiphany of Death," "The Ghoul," "The Kingdom of the Worm," and "The Primal City," as well as tales by Robert Bloch, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, David H. Keller and others. THE FANTASY FAN was "an interesting mix of news, articles, stories, poems, and miscellany. Hornig however, made an error in initiating a column of controversy entitled 'The Boiling Point,' which quickly led to acrimonious letter exchanges between Lovecraft, Forrest J. Ackerman, Clark Ashton Smith, and numerous others; the column was terminated with the February 1934 issue. Perhaps Hornig's greatest accomplishment was the serialization of the revised version of Lovecraft's 'Supernatural Horror in Literature' (October 1933-February 1935). However, the serialization proceeded at such a slow pace that it had reached only the middle of Chapter VIII before the magazine folded. THE FANTASY FAN also saw the first publication of Lovecraft's stories. 'The Other Gods' (November 1933) and 'From Beyond' (June 1934) as well as reprints (from amateur papers) of 'Polaris' (February 1934) and 'Beyond the Wall of Sleep' (October 1934); it also published 'The Book' (October 1934), 'Pursuit' (October 1934), 'The Key' (January 1935), and 'Homecoming' (January 1935) from 'Fungi from Yuggoth.' Brief excerpts of Lovecraft's letters to Hornig appeared regularly in the magazine's letter column. The October 1934 issue was dedicated to Lovecraft. After the demise of THE FANTASY FAN, numerous attempts were made to revive or succeed it, but no magazine truly filled its place as a news organ, a forum for the expression of fan's views, and a venue for work by distinguished writers in the field" (Joshi and Schultz, An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia, pp. 90-91). "As a real help to the lover of weird and fantasy fiction Hornig's magazine reigned supreme in the field at that time ... Almost every weirdist of importance in fandom was at one time or another represented in its pages. And as a love-feast for such fans it has never again been equaled" (Moskowitz, The Immortal Storm, pp. 18-20). "... one of the legendary magazines of the 1930s ... an extremely consistent and reliable magazine ..." (Tymn and Ashley, eds., Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 822-23). According to Hornig (writing in 1988) "THE FANTASY FAN was printed by Conrad Ruppett of Jamaica, New York, hand set. Julius Schwartz and I helped him collate and staple each copy every month for eighteen months. Except for the second issue (500 copies), there were only 250 printed, and the paid circulation never reached over 50. What happened to the residue? Well, I found someone to buy up most of the unsold copies, and that was B. K. Gores of Austin, Texas. I never heard from him before or since, never knew him in fandom, and don't know whatever happened to him. Somewhere, there should be stacks of TFF, unless they're destroyed." Joshi I-B-ii-232.

MYSTERY MAGAZINE: THE ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE MAGAZINE [COVER TITLE].
Dunellen, N.J. Tower Magazines, Inc., 1933. Large octavo, single issue, pictorial wrappers. "The Murder Club" by H. Bedford Jones. Also fiction by Herman Landon, Barry Perowne and others. A large format, densely illustrated, bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view, was often narrated by a woman, and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication ... That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort, it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years, the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field, including Ellery Queen, Stuart Palmer, Sax Rohmer, Arnold Kummer, Hulbert Footner, Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished, often strongly compressed, and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years, sixty-nine issues, at ten cents a copy. After three years, the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE ... Covers were tasteful, bright, and uneventful, relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction, four or more crime-fact articles, and up to ten continuing departments (about half of these slanted directly toward women). When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s, it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes ... MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished, self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction, as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw, but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been, and often over illustrated, but it was also considerably interesting and, for years, excellent." - Cook, Mystery, Detective, and Espionage Magazines, pp. [287]-90.
