A relaunch of the pulp magazine classic, “Startling Stories” edited by Douglas Draa. My prose piece Hazthrog’s Contempt is slated to be featured in this upcoming publication!

The original magazine ran from 1939 to 1955 and was published Ned Pines’ Standard Magazines.

The magazine saw literary titans such as Arthur C. Clarke and his story Against the Fall of Night, including the father of science fiction, Isaac Asimov
