Starstone (about)

A fanzine containing amateur fiction set on Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover. We would not ordinarily extend our coverage to a magazine of this type, but a number of these stories were later reprinted in the Darkover anthologies published by DAW Books and their prior appearances have never been documented.

Startling Mystery Magazine (about)

An attempt to cash in on the popularity of the “shudder pulps”, Startling Mystery Magazine used reprint covers and paid authors only half the then-going rate. Perhaps as a result it folded after only two issues, though a third issue was planned.

Publishers: Fictioneers, Inc.; 2256 Grove Street, Chicago, IL.

Startling Mystery Stories (about)

Startling Mystery Stories specialised in stories where either the detective or villain had supernatural powers or their scientific equivalent. Despite a steadily growing circulation during its 18 issues it was killed in 1971 by increasing costs and distribution problems.
