Weird Terror Tales was a short-lived companion publication to Startling Mystery Stories and Magazine Of Horror which ran for just the three issues over 1969 and 1970 and, for once, I have a full run of something. The debut opens with the customary excellent editorial from Lowdnes - in this instance, he debates the difference between terror and horror - and there are the regular departments familiar from MOH and SMS. The stories themselves are a bizarre mix of the acknowledged classic, new fiction and and out-and-out vintage pulp madness, much of it reprinted from Strange Tales.
