Hornibrook (last few issues); although not strictly a pulp for much of its existence, it began and ended as one, and it is convenient to regard it as a pulp throughout since it continued to publish much the same sort of stories; essentially this was always a flamboyant pulp, although it masqueraded as a big slick for some years; contained a wide range of fiction, with an emphasis on romance, mystery and intrigue; published “Spook Stories” by E. F. Benson and “Crook Stories” by Sax Rohmer; other authors included Achmed Abdullah, A. E. W. Mason, Stacey Aumonier, H.
