Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1954 (copyright is dated 1953 for this January 1954 issue). The January, 1954 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no. 46) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Fine - yes, Fine - copy (see scans), which is virtually unheard of in this fragile series. Highest Grade, particularly for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See scans. This issue features articles on the Tahitian Fire Walk; Tea Leaves; Rosa Menichelli; an ancient Greek Ghost; a haunted house; Past Lives; a Near-Death Experience; Psychokinesis; Psychic Research; William Blake; Attila von Sealay; and of course much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. l48n.
