FINALE

This, the February 1935 number, is the last issue of THE FANTASY FAN. The life of TFF has extended over exactly one and a half years--since September 1933, and during that time we have learned that there are not enough lovers of weird fiction who are interested enough in the subject to pay for a fan magazine. We may call it an experiment that failed. We have done everything in our power to keep TFF from going on the rocks, but our worst fears have been realized. Our printer, a fantasy fan himself, gave his services for an amount far below that charged by others so that TFF could exist from the first, but a steady increase in well-paying jobs has deprived him of the time he usually devoted to printing it. 
Our greatest regret is the necessity of breaking off H. P. Lovecraft's "Supernatural Horror in Literature" in the middle of it. Dozens of short stories, poems, weird articles and columns will have to be returned to the authors. Writers who would like their unpublished material to be turned over to the editors of Fantasy Magazine should advise us of it, all other contribuions to be mailed back before May first.
Subscribers can help us and themselves at the same time if they will accept back numbers of TFF in payment for the future issues that they cannot receive. This will lighten the burden upon the editor who has already lost a couple of hundred dollars in the venture, and will provide readers with the issues they missed or duplicates of those they have. In the latter case, they will find that back issues of TFF are steadily increasing in value. The first issue, September 1933, which is out of stock long ago, now markets for a value between 50 cents and $1. per copy. Prices of back numbers are as follows: Oct., Dec., 1933, Jan., Feb., Mar.,
