Ghost Stories Vol. 2, No. 1 (January, 1927). Bedsheet Size. Uncredited Cover Art
"Ghost Stories" was a U.S. pulp magazine that published 64 issues between 1926 and 1932. It was one of the earliest competitors to Weird Tales, the first magazine to specialize in the fantasy and occult fiction genre. The stories were often accompanied by faked photographs to make the stories appear more believable. "Ghost Stories" also ran original and reprinted contributions, including works by Robert E. Howard, Carl Jacobi, and Frank Belknap Long. Among the reprints were Agatha Christie's "The Last Seance" (under the title "The Woman Who Stole a Ghost"), several stories by H.G. Wells, and Charles Dickens' "The Signal-Man". The magazine was initially successful, but began to lose readers, and in 1930 was sold to Harold Hersey. Hersey was unable to reverse the magazine's decline, and "Ghost Stories" ceased publication at the start of 1932. [Source: Wikipedia]
