The famous "weird menace" pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s are
among the rarest and most sought-after publications by collectors.
The "Spicy" magazines -- which included Spicy Mystery, Spicy
Adventure, Spicy Detective, and others -- published a titilating
mix of fantasy, horror, mystery, and suspense, punctuated by
episodes of torture, sadism, sex, and other risque elements.
Although tame by current standards, and sometimes of dubious
literary merit, these publications presented tales which thrilled a
sensation-hungry audience. Despite the themes and constraints of
the market, writers who would later become famous -- including Hugh
B. Cave, E. Hoffman Price, Robert Leslie Bellem, and many more --
were frequent contributors. The August 1935 issue of Spice Mystery
Stories includes contributions from Robert Leslie Bellem, Atwater
Culpepper, Ellery Watson Calder, Carl Moore, E. Hoffman Price,
Jerome Severs Perry, Don King, Charles R. Allen, Charles A. Baker,
Jr., and Arthur Wallace.
