Note: From Tuck's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Up to No. 6 the contents page gave The Magazine of Horror and Strange Stories; from No. 7 the subtitle changed to Strange Tales and Science Fiction, and from No. 15 to the Bizarre and the Unusual. A magazine for weird enthusiasts, this has mainly reprinted notable stories from Weird Tales and other old sources, with a few original short stories. It was very capably edited by Lowndes, with interesting and knowledgable lead-ins to most stories, and did much to keep the classical (or near classic) weird stories in print. Book reviews have been presented at times, and the letter department "It Is Written" did much to build up a sense of comradeship within the magazine.
