Classic Pulp Fiction Stories

FADING SHADOWS entered the genre fiction magazines with CLASSIC PULP FICTION STORIES in June 1995. It became our longest running title lasting for 91 issues, and ending in December 2004, almost ten years as the leading new pulp magazine since the era of the pulps. The cover shown here is issue #24, from May 1997, with another great cover by Albert Roberts. The issue contains 7 short stories and part two of a serial. Authors are Chester Ingram (pseudonym of Ray Capella), John L. French, Nick Carr, Naomi Walker, Lida Broadhurst, T.J. Glenn, Michael Laramie, and Sean Danowski.

Double Danger Tales

In February 1997, FADING SHADOWS launched DOUBLE DANGER TALES, a genre magazine that lasted 63 issues, with approximately 40k words per issue. The intent was to move the new pulp characters to this title, and we aimed for two novelettes per issue. That didn’t come about, but we tried. The cover shown here is issue #7, featuring another great cover by Albert Roberts and his version of the Domino Lady. The issue contained one novelette, three short stories, and part one of a serial. The authors were Gene Girardier, Eric Turowski, Michael Robbins, Tom Johnson, and Maxentius Andor Scarlatti (Steve Mitchell using one of his pseudonyms).

Weird Stories #1

The FADING SHADOWS genre magazines kicked off in June 1995. By October 1996 we launched WEIRD STORIES #1, with a great cover by Albert Roberts, and containing six stories by Rick Brooks, Ginger Johnson, Sean Danawski, T.J. Glenn, Jeffrey Zverloff, and Tom Johnson. WEIRD STORIES only lasted for 26 issues, but each issue contained approximately 40k words, which amounts to a lot of fiction. Back issues are still available from Tom & Ginger.
