10 Story Mystery Magazine (about)
Publishing a mixture of weird menace, “daring mystery” and stories of the “sinister and strange” from well-known authors like G.T. Fleming-Roberts and Stewart Stirling, 10 Story Mystery Magazine lasted for a mere 9 issues before succumbing to the wartime paper shortages and merging with Dime Mystery Magazine.
