FANTASY BOOK

FANTASY BOOK
   1. Magazine, BEDSHEET-format for 2 issues, then various DIGEST-size formats. 8 issues July 1947-Jan 1951; irregular. Published by FANTASY PUBLISHING COMPANY INC.; ed Garrett Ford (pseudonym of William L. CRAWFORD). FB was generally an undistinguished and erratic magazine. Some issues appeared in three different editions with different covers. FB is best remembered for publishing in \#1 The People of the Crater", the first sf story by Andre " NORTON (as Andrew North) and, in \#6 (Jan 1950), Paul Linebarger's first story as Cordwainer SMITH, "Scanners Live in Vain". When it ceased publication it left incomplete a Murray LEINSTER serial, "Journey to Barkut"; this later appeared in full in STARTLING STORIES (Jan 1952), and in book form as Gateway to Elsewhere (1954).
   2. US SEMIPROZINE, BEDSHEET-format. 23 issues Oct 1981-Mar 1987, ed Dennis Mallonee and Nick Smith from California, bimonthly, then quarterly from \#4. Unlike the first FB, to which it was unconnected, this published almost no sf, concentrating on fantasy and horror. Its authors included R.A. L AFFERTY, Alan Dean FOSTER and Ian WATSON. Circulation seldom rose above 3000.
