THE COMPLETE UNKNOWN MAGAZINE – COMPLETE THRILL BOOK & COMPLETE AVON FANTASY READER on 3 DVDs Offered today are digital scans of every issue of Unknown/Unknown Worlds magazine on 3 DVDs. Also included in this set as a bonus are complete runs of two additional magazines, The Thrill Book and The Avon Fantasy Reader. This collection offers cover-to-cover scans of complete magazines that include all of the old advertisements, letters to the editor and, of course, all the great stories. In 1939, the editor of Astounding magazine, John W. Campbell, decided to create a new magazine devoted to fantasy fiction to be called Unknown. There were other magazines of the day that specialized in fantasy, notably Weird Tales. But the stories in Weird Tales were mostly dark fantasies and horror. While he acknowledged a place for such stories, Campbell wanted to publish stories told with more finesse and humor and less shock value. He wanted stories where the fantasy elements developed logically, combining commonplace reality with the fantastic. In doing so he created what is widely regarded as the finest fantasy fiction magazine ever published. Many well known writers contributed to the pages of Unknown including, Jack Williamson, L. Ron Hubbard, Fletcher Pratt, Theodore Sturgeon, L Sprague de Camp, A. E. van Vogt, Fritz Leiber, Robert Heinlein and many more. Many great stories, now considered classics appeared in Unknown. Eric Frank Russell’s “Sinister Barrier” (March 1939), in which aliens claim to own the human race, appeared in the first issue. “Darker Than You Think” (December 1940) by Jack Williamson, provides a logical explanation for werewolves. L. Ron Hubbard, before founding Scientology, was a good pulp writer and contributed eight lead novels to Unknown. Fritz Leiber’s first published story, “Two Sought Adventure”, the first in his long running Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series about a pair of adventurers in a sword and sorcery setting, appeared in the August 1939 issue. Leiber also contributed “Conjure Wife” (April 1943), about a man who discovers that all women are secretly witches. This was later used as the basis for the film “Burn, Witch Burn” (1962). L. Sprague de Camp’s “Lest Darkness Fall” (December 1939), is an alternate history story about a time-traveler who attempts to save the Roman Empire from the coming Dark Ages. Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Devil Makes the Law” depicts a world where magic is a part of normal everyday life. There are many, many more great stories here. Sadly, Unknown magazine was ahead of it’s time and ceased publication, due to poor sales, after only 39 issues. But crammed into the pages of that magazine are some of the enduring classics of the modern fantasy genre. In 1948, editor Campbell, hoping that the readership had matured enough over the last five years, decided to try to resurrect Unknown. He published a one-shot magazine of reprints from past issues with the title From Unknown Worlds. Apparently, the reception to it was not enough to bring it back and only the one issue was released. It had a cool cover painting by artist Ed Cartier, who had provided several cover and interior illustrations to the original Unknown. We have included a scan of this issue here in the interests of completeness. Street and Smith, the publishers of Unknown, had tried to start an all fantasy, horror and adventure magazine way back in 1919, five years before the first issue of Weird Tales. The magazine was called The Thrill Book and specialized in what they called “different stories”. Like Unknown, The Thrill Book was not commercially successful and ended publication after 16 issues, all of which are included in this collection. There were many fine stories in The Thrill Book, the best remembered being Francis Stevens’ “Heads Of Cerberus”, one of the first stories to deal with alternate time tracks. Today, issues of The Thrill Book are rare collector’s items that often command astronomical sums in the rare instances that a copy becomes available for sale. Now you can read every issue for the cost of this collection. In 1947, Donald A. Wollheim, an editor for Avon publications, decided to put out collections of then hard to find fantasy classics. These were called the Avon Fantasy Reader series. They were published three times a year and 20 issues in all were produced. The Avon Fantasy Reader reprinted many forgotten fantasy classics, many of them from the pages of Weird Tales. The magazine was instrumental in resurrecting interest in the then almost forgotten careers of such writers as A. Merritt, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard and introducing them to a new generation of readers. Cover-to-cover scans of all 20 issues are included here. Just for fun, we’ve included all three issues of the Fantasy Reader’s companion magazine, The Avon Science Fiction Reader and a one-shot magazine, also edited by Wollheim, titled 10 Story Fantasy from 1951. All-in-all this is a terrific collection. You get the complete runs of three of the most influential fantasy magazines in history in one place. ATTENTION COLLECTORS: This set is an invaluable tool for those who collect the original, vintage copies of Unknown, Thrill Book and Avon Fantasy Reader. With this set you can preview a particular issue before buying or bidding on one to purchase. With this collection you can “try before you buy”, so to speak. Ours is the only complete collection of scans of these magazines ever assembled. BUYER BEWARE: There are other dealers who sell similar collections of scanned pulp magazines out there. Be sure to read the description of their product carefully before buying. In most cases, what you will get for your money is a plain DVD-R, with sharpie writing on it, in a white paper sleeve. Our collections come in new DVD cases with beautiful artwork and printed discs that will look great on your bookshelf and that you would be proud to show to your friends. To be clear, these are digital scans of original magazines for viewing on a computer or tablet. These are NOT actual paper copies of the magazines.
