Hornig (Managing Editor: Wonder Stories) 10 cents a copy $1.00 per year 137 West Grand Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey Volume 2 September, 1934 Number 1 Whole Number 13 [Transcriber's Note: Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] NOTICE! Many subscriptions expire with this issue. We urge all those whom this effects to send in a dollar for their renewal immediately. We cannot at this time afford to let the circulation of THE FANTASY FAN go down and continue monthly publication. Will you co-operate? Thank you! * * * * * OUR READERS SAY Well, we are one year old with this issue, and just to celebrate, have added the smooth, glossy cover that you admired so much as you took the issue out of the envelope. We may continue this every month if circulation allows. After all, circulation means everything. The more readers we have the more money comes into our treasury, and the more improvements we can give you. Will you subscribe (if you haven't already), and urge your fantasy friends to do likewise? Every little bit counts. Our motto, by-word, or whatever you want to call it, is "The Fans' Own Magazine," as you will notice, and we have made this issue consist of 100 per cent fan material (except for the poetry), in order to emphasize this. We have chosen some of our choice articles and columns and provided an extra-long instalment of H. P. Lovecraft's excellent serial-article, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," Part Twelve of which appears in this issue. Only about one-third of it has been published. However, when we find it possible to increase the number of pages, much longer instalments will appear and we may clear it up in less than two years more. Even so, we know you will be sorry to see it end. So many of you have claimed it the best thing in our little magazette.
