Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine Collection
Requirements: ePUB reader, 86.0 Mb
Overview: With the world at war, England under bombardment, espionage running rampant, and sinister forces blanketing half the globe, late 1941 cannot have been the right time to start a new publishing venture. Yet that is the dark moment when Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine was launched, and it has thrived for more then three-quarters of a century since.
The name Ellery Queen is even older than the magazine. It was the pseudonym adopted by Brooklyn writing duo Frederic Dannay (1905-1982) and Manfred Bennington Lee (1905-1971), who were cousins. They began writing Golden Age-style novels in 1928. The books not only purported to be by Ellery Queen, they starred Ellery Queen as their fictional hero. The name has become synonymous with classic crime fiction, and other writers have continued the tradition using Ellery Queen as a pseudonym.
To run alongside the novels, Dannay founded the pulp-style magazine and hoped for the support of mystery lovers across America. He got it, selling 90,000 copies of the very first issue. Now, almost 80 years later, ‘the world’s leading mystery magazine’ is still going strong.
