Fantastic Novels

Fantastic Novels was an American science fiction and fantasy pulp magazine published by the Munsey Company of New York City from 1940 to 1941, and again by Popular Publications, also of New York City, from 1948 to 1951. It was a companion to Famous Fantastic Mysteries. Like that magazine, it mostly reprinted science fiction and fantasy classics from earlier decades, such as works by A. Merritt, George Allan England, and Victor Rousseau, though it occasionally published reprints of more recent material, such as Earth's Last Citadel by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore. The magazine lasted for 5 issues in its first incarnation, and for another 20 in the revived version from Popular Publications. Mary Gnaedinger edited both series; her interest in reprinting Merritt's work helped make him one of the better-known fantasy writers of the era.
