Keyhole Mystery Magazine:   (about)
Initially Keyhole Mystery Magazine presented a good array of the more standard mystery and detective short stories by many of the better-known mystery fiction authors, but was unable to sustain sales and folded after only three issues. It was relaunched over a year later, by a different publisher, under the title Keyhole Detective Story Magazine, with an emphasis on a more violent, fast-action, clip, heavily laced with tough and coarse characters and, above all, sex.

The London Mystery Magazine:   (about)
The longest running British mystery magazine, fantasy was a significant part of its mix, rarely less than a third of an issue. A highly collectible, but apparently little known, magazine. The title was originally The London Mystery Magazine. The “The” dropped off the cover after the fourth issue, from the spine after the 35th issue, but remained in the Table of Contents through the entire run. Although the title was changed to London Mystery Selection with #36, the word “Magazine” appeared on the covers of #s 73, 74, 75 and 81, and on the spine of #s 78 to 87. On the cover the title was given as just London Mystery on #s 36 to 46, 54 to 72, 76 to 80, and 82 to 97. Most issues feature a standard cover design, several of which were used over the life of the magazine. In one stretch, from #70 to 81, individual covers were drawn for most issues. For most of its run the magazine was published simultaneously in the UK and US with the only difference being the cover price.
