Volume one number one of Mind Magic, a magazine dealing with the
occult, was June, 1931. It lasted until the end of the year, December,
1931 issue. (The last two issues were published under the title of My
Self Magazine.) Another science fiction magazine, Miracle, Science and
Fantasy Stories, disappeared after issuing two numbers, the April-May
and June-July, 1931. The same publisher of this magazine, Harry
Hershey, printed some good fantasies in Ghost Stories. Exact dates of
this magazine are unknown to the writer, but the magazine gave up its
ghost sometime in 1932.
Hugo Gernsback, editor of Wonder Stories, put out two magazines that
expired within a year. The first, Air Wonder Stories (July, 1929 to
May, 1930) dealt with aviation of the future, mostly. It combined with
Science and Wonder Stories in June, 1930 to form the present Wonder
Stories. The other, Scientific Detective Monthly, appeared in January,
1930, and after changing its name to Amazing Detective Tales in June
collapsed with the October, 1930 issue.
Oriental Stories, companion magazine to Weird Tales, burst forth on
the stands September 15, 1930. Some excellent weird and oriental tales
made their appearance in this magazine, which afterwards, in January,
1933, became Magic Carpet. Black Cat magazine (published around 1924)
had some weird and scientifiction stories. These issues are
particularly hard to obtain.
