Only a single issue of this magazine was ever published, making it a true pulp rarity. During the height of the science-fiction craze in the Spring of 1951, Avon Publications issued 10 Story Fantasy magazine. They pulled together some of sci-fi's most honored authors to create a magazine that stood out for readers. It contained thirteen stories, not just the ten promised on the cover. There were three novelets in addition to the ten science-fiction short stories, making 128 pages chock full of the fantastic and thrilling stories of fantasy. For unknown reasons, the magazine did not return for a second issue. We have only this single issue in existence to tantalize the mind with "what if...?" 10 Story Fantasy returns with these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
