About this Item

Very limited edition reprint of the legendary 1930's Fantasy/weird fiction fan publication whos' contributors are a virtual whos-who in the weird fiction field. Published from September 1933 thru February 1935 this includes all 18 issues meticulously scanned and bound in black paper covered boards with tan cloth spine. This is the limited boxed issue, copy #2 of only 100 copies so issued which includes a board slipcase with paper cover label, a portrait of editor Hornig laid in. Also included is the publishers thank you notice and the postcard noting that copy #2 would be shipping on September 27th. Slipcase and book faintly bumped at one upper corner else an as new copy. There was also a "trade" edition which is equally scarce, I believe only 100 were done of that edition as well. That edition includes a dust wrapper but no slipcase. H P Lovecraft's seminal essay SUPERNATURAL HORROR IN LITERATURE is included in it's complete form; regrettably THE FANTASY FAN had its demise before it could be completed back in the day. Lots of cheesy "print on demand" editions of this around - eschew them and go for the real deal. A true fan labor of love.
