Eldritch Tales (Magazine)

Eldritch Tales is a fanzine specializing in Weird Tales-style fiction that was published from 1975 until 1995, with a second run beginning in 2017.
In its first incarnation, the publication was edited by Crispin Burnham and was mainly published by Kansas' Yith Press. It was initially conceived as a companion to the non-fiction fanzine Dark Messenger, and so the first issue, appearing in 1975, was titled Dark Messenger Reader.The Pulp Super-Fan, "Eldritch Tales," by Michael, March 17, 2023. The next issue did not appear until March 1978, and was counted as No. 3, the second issue having been misplaced in the intervening years. Three more issues appear on a biennial basis in 1975-76, then the zine went through a lengthy period as annual, published once a year from 1980 through 1986. (The issue published in 1981 was the "lost" issue, and was numbered No. 2.) From 1987 until 1995, no two consecutive years had the same number of issues, ranging from one to four.Galactic Central, "Eldritch Tales."
The title was revived in 2017 by Robert M. Price, initially under the aegis of Necronomicon Press. Price's first issue was renumbered as Volume 2, Number 1, and bore the motto "The Un-Unique Magazine," a play on Weird Tales billing itself as the "Unique Magazine." Necronomicon Press published three more issues in 2018 and two in 2019; after a gap in 2020-21, Price resumed publication in 2021.
The publication has featured fiction (and sometimes poetry) from Burnham, Price, Tani Jantsang, Richard L. Tierney, Franklyn Searight, Glenn A. Rahman, Donald R. Burleson, Peter Cannon, Brian Lumley, Will Murray, Ann K. Schwader, Darrell Schweitzer, Edward P. Berglund, Glynn Owen Barrass, and Pierre Comtois, among many others.Internet Speculative Fiction Database, "Series: Eldritch Tales."
