FFM: Scream Factory, Spring 1993, Special "Dark Suspense" Issue

Have I mentioned that I miss the old days?  

Sure, these days are great, and you can find all kinds of information on the Internet, but back in 1993, before the 'Net was like it is today, the real thrill was to go to the mailbox and find a copy of a great magazine, settle down in an easy chair with a good reading lamp, and page through some outstanding articles.  

Just take a look at the cover articles in this issue of Scream Factory, for example.  But that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Feast your peepers on the ToC.  It's almost too much too take in.  And these aren't skimpy little articles and reviews we're looking at.  The issue comes in at 128 oversize (8-1/2 X 11) pages of small print.  Nonfiction, stories, reviews, interviews, and it's all great stuff.  You can tell that by looking at the writers.  They don't print 'em like this anymore.  Or if they do, I don't see 'em.

I thought I'd given all my periodicals to the Cushing Library at Texas A&M, but I ran across this one the other day when going through some material on a hard-to-reach shelf.  I'm glad I found it and selfishly happy to have it still in my possession.
