Finale: this February 1935 number is the last, the editor announces, after a year and a half, too few lovers of weird fiction proved willing to pay to keep the little magazine alive.

'The Fantasy Fan' (Feb. 1935, ed. Charles D. Hornig) is the final issue of a landmark early weird-fiction fanzine. Historic, poignant, essential. Read it for a piece of genre history, the last number of the pioneering fanzine that serialized Lovecraft's great horror essay and helped shape the earliest fandom before folding.
