Black Mask Pulp Story Reader: #1 Stories from August 19, 1939 issue of DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY - Softcover
Synopsis
Six exciting stories from the August 19, 1939 issue of DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY magazine!
Presented by Black Magazine [www.blackMaskMagazine.com] and iPulpFiction [www.iPulpFiction.com]
Launched in September 1924 by Frank A. Munsey, FLYNN’S was one of the most popular and longest running of all the detective pulps. It ran for more than 900 issues and 28 years under a variety of titles. It published stories by the likes of Agatha Christie and Erle Stanley Gardner, among others.
In June of 1928 it was renamed DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY and ran 14 years under that title, making this its most popular incarnation. While BLACK MASK MAGAZINE is considered the best of the mystery pulps, the 1929 O. Henry Memorial Awards listed 69 DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY stories as “notable,” far outpacing the closest competitor’s 21 mentions.
