Smashing Detective Stories eBook
December 1953
 
Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
 
There could seemingly never be enough detective fiction magazines. Readers clamored for more hard-hitting action, more flinty-eyed investigators, and more shifty underground mobsters. So another detective pulp was launched, rather late in the game, in March of 1951 when other pulp magazines were closing down. And it hit it off with its reading audience, selling enough copies to remain on newsstands until February of 1958 when the era of pulp magazines was at an end. The magazine was published by Columbia Publications, who had been in the pulp business since the mid-1930s. Some of its other magazine included Crack Detective Stories, Famous Western, Hooded Detective, and Science Fiction Quarterly. Smashing Detective magazine ran a grand total of 33 issues, and provided readers with quarterly (and for two years bi-monthly) issues of murder and mystery. Smashing Detective Stories returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
