Sinister Stories was a short-lived (only 3 issues) weird menace magazine, designed to thrill and titilate through a mix of suspense, science fiction, bondage, nudity, and grisly horror. Stories such as Brides of the Half-Men, Satan's Studio of Sin, and White Flesh Must Rot are surely masterpieces of over-the-top pulp writing This is the very first issue, reproduced in facsimile, with a fine lineup of macabrely wicked stories-complete with all the gloriously naughty original illustrations | Pulp Classics: Sinister Stories #1 (February 1940) by John Gregory Betancourt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
