    Wikipedia has a page on the magazine. Apparently it was put out by the publisher of THE STRAND MAGAZINE, and ran for three issues in 1938-39.
    The cover story was “Winged Terror”. The net tells me it was reprinted from PEARSON’S MAGAZINE, where it ran as a serial in 1931, and appeared in the US in WEIRD TALES the same year, under the name “Moth”.
    John Benyon was John Wyndham.

    That should be “John Beynon” above.

  • Uh huh. Tell that to the parents of the school bus she crawled over to get to her little priestesses.
