Shock [1960]

Country: US
Total Issues: 3+7=10

The magazine started as a companion to Keyhole Mystery under the title Shock—The Magazine of Terrifying Tales, but only lasted for three issues, during which it reprinted classic stories from authors like Theodore Sturgeon, Henry Kuttner and Jack London.

After a brief hiatus it was resurrected by a different publisher as a weird-menace companion to Web Terror Stories under the title Shock Mystery Tales.
