Mary Higgins Clark Mystery Magazine (about)
Published by Family Circle, Mary Higgins Clark Mystery Magazine was very mainstream, very slick, and very glossy. It was filled with trivia, lists, reviews, short interviews and even found room for some good stories. Its publishing schedule was sporadic at best, because it was published to fill the same slots as the traditional baking, knitting, etc., magazines which made up Family Circle “special projects”—this also explained the unusual volume numbering. However, it never really found a niche and died after seven issues.

It appeared on a quarterly basis but only lasted 12 issues before becoming a casualty of the paper shortages of World War II.

Menace (about)
Menace, like Murder, was a short-lived attempt to please the reading public with contemporary crime-adventure stories that were but one step removed from the pulp magazines. Although not lacking better-known writers, the competition was too fierce and the magazine folded after only two issues.
