Spicy Mystery Stories:   (about) One of the infamous “spicy” pulps; this title ran a large amount of fantastic fiction, often half or better of an issue. The large number of reprints in the last couple of years are apparently the result of an embezzlement scheme by two of the editors. Kelly Mordaunt identified many of the cover artists.
