Dime Mystery Magazine 

was a US pulp magazine published from 1932 to 1950 by Popular


Publications. Originally Dime Mystery Book Magazine, it contained mysteries, including a novel
in each issue. Competing with established magazines, it failed to sell. From 1933, inspired
by Grand Guignol, publisher Harry Steeger changed its style, publishing horror stories in what
became known as "weird menace" fiction, where the apparently supernatural transpired to
have an everyday explanation. Further magazines in the same genre followed. The emphasis
on sex and sadism increased, but reverted to detective stories in 1938. The stories now
featured detectives with a handicap such as amnesia or hemophilia. After a return to weird
menace, it reverted to detective stories until it ceased publication in 1950. Most stories were
low-quality, but some well-known authors appeared, including Edgar Wallace, Ray
Bradbury, Norvell Page, and Wyatt Blassingame. The last issues appeared as 15 Mystery
