Introduction

From Tuck's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy:

 This magazine was started because of interest in Abraham_Merritt's fiction;
 most issues featured one of his stories. The never-published 6th issue was to have
 had "The Snake Mother" [by] A. Merritt and "The Lost Garden" [by] M. Brand [F. Faust]."

Concerning the Canadian Edition:

 "Entire contents, covers and dates are identical with the US
 editions, except that the magazines are a half inch longer,
 enabling the panel at the bottom of the front cover to give
 the title of the secondary story as well as the main novel.
 Advertisements are the same as the US except that two Canadian
 beer firms have the outside back covers."
