A propos de cet article

Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1951. The August-September, 1951 issue of Fate Magazine, Volume 4, Number 6, a scarce issue in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated stapled wraps, 130 pp. Very Good Plus, and not at all far from Near Fine; spine shows a bit of fade, and there is sporadic micro-edgewear at the covers. See scans. Even the standard 50's-pulps toning to the interior pages is quite moderate here, and of course the pages remain supple. See scans. High grade condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. Uncredited cover art shows one of the Trance Dancers of Bali, one of the many pieces on the paranormal herein. See the scanned image of the contents page for the articles herein, which cover such topics as those Trance Dancers of Bali; Wolf Children; Seaforths; Foo Fighters; Banshees; Carolina Ghost Ship; Scroll Writing of Atlantis; Seances; New Theory of Psychic Phenomena; Big Horn Mystery Medicine Wheel; Lost Race of America;and a Disappearing Roof. Of course much, much else is here, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves - everything on diversified paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. A particularly absorbing and very scarce issue. Please see scans. L80.
