    Mystery Novels and Short Stories   (about)
    One of the better weird-menace magazines, stressing the luscious female in most distressing situations. The first issue was Vol.1 No.4—it is not known whether any magazine preceded this for the first three issues.

    Mystery Novels Magazine Quarterly:   (about)
    Initially a giant-sized, 256-page, quarterly, the magazine changed hands after only 8 issues and shrank to 128-page issues, with an emphasis on weird crime. Although the new publisher claimed their magazine was not a continuation of the previous one, the issue numbering is continuous throughout. After a further 9 issues it changed to a frontier adventure magazine called Real Northwest Adventures which is not indexed here.

    Title changed from Mystery Novels Magazine Quarterly.

    Mystery Puzzle of the Month   (about)
    Mystery Puzzle of the Month was a series of jigsaws published by Pearl Publishing Co., each of which was accompanied by an original short story in a well-known series. The idea was that both story and jigsaw contained clues that would allow the reader to solve the mystery. The actual solution was given on the final page of the story in mirror text.

    Mystery Street
    Although this title is listed on www.thrillingdetective.com, it was a stillborn magazine. The editor, O’Neil de Noux, described it as “A fantastic idea by Pulphouse Publishing of Eugene, Oregon. Mystery Street was going to be ‘The New Wave of Crime Fiction’. We started with a 10,000 word story by Kate Wilhelm, stories from John Lutz, George Alec Effinger, Lee Floren and others. We put together the first issue (a great cover by Peggy Ranson) but Pulphouse went under before we got the magazine into print.”

    Mystery Tales (1930s)   (about)
    One of Martin Goodman’s “Red Circle” weird menace magazines, seemingly published as a companion to Star Detective. Began with Vol.2 No.3, possibly to match the current issue of Star Detective.

      • Western Fiction Publishing Co., Inc.; 4600 Diversey Avenue, Chicago, IL: Mystery Tales.
