About Eerie Stories
Eerie Stories was an American weird menace pulp magazine that published one issue in 1937. The publisher had failed with another weird menace pulp, Ace Mystery, the year before, and pulp historian Robert K. Jones comments that Eerie Stories was "even feebler". All twelve stories were written under house names; one, "Mate of the Beast" by Leon Dupont, was a reprint from Ace Mystery with a new title, and there may have been other reprints. In the opinion of pulp historian Michael L. Cook, the stories "really had no redeeming value and were even poor entertainment". The tagline was "Startling Adventures in Chilling Horror", but in Jones' opinion the stories fell short.
