The fanzine begins dedicating each issue to a master of the weird, Lovecraft first, with a story and a long installment of his 'Supernatural Horror in Literature,' Smith and Poe to follow.

'The Fantasy Fan' (Oct. 1934, ed. Charles D. Hornig) is a landmark early science-fiction and weird-fiction fanzine. Historic, lively, essential. Read it for a piece of genre history, the pioneering fanzine's tribute issues to the giants of weird fiction, serializing Lovecraft's great critical essay along the way.
