Sinister Stories was a short-lived (only 3 issues) "weird menace" magazine, designed to thrill and titilate through a mix of suspense, science fiction, bondage, nudity, and grisly horror. Stories such as "Brides of the Half-Men," "Satan's Studio of Sin," and "White Flesh Must Rot" are surely masterpieces of over-the-top pulp writing! This is the very first issue, reproduced in facsimile, with a fine lineup of macabrely wicked stories-complete with all the gloriously naughty original illustrations!
