ARKHAM SAMPLER

ARKHAM SAMPLER
   US magazine, intermediate format (6 x 9in; about 150 x 230mm), quarterly, 8 issues, Winter 1948-Autumn 1949, published by ARKHAM HOUSE, ed August DERLETH. An offshoot of Arkham House's book-publishing activities, AS was a fantasy magazine that used many reprints, but also published original fiction by Ray BRADBURY and others; a celebrated reprint was H.P.LOVECRAFT's The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath (1943; Winter-Fall 1948; 1955). The Winter 1949 issue was devoted to sf, containing stories by Ray BRADBURY, A.E.VAN VOGT and others. At $1.00 AS was rather expensive, which may have contributed to the shortness of its life. A later Arkham House periodical was The Arkham Collector, in booklet format, 10 issues Summer 1967-Summer 1971, which mixed publishing news with some fiction, mostly fantasy and horror.
