Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Fantasy Fan, Volume 1, Number 9, May 1934" by Various is a fan magazine published in 1934. This ninth issue of the first-ever weird fiction fanzine represents a remarkable achievement in amateur publishing. Edited by seventeen-year-old Charles Hornig, it featured contributions from legendary authors including H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. Despite a circulation under 300 copies, the magazine served as a premier source for fantasy and horror literature, publishing original works and serializing Lovecraft's influential "Supernatural Horror in Literature."
