Recently Read: The Digest Enthusiast, Volume 12
Out of the chaotic pandemic comes another gloriously full-color and information-packed volume of The Digest Enthusiast. This edition sports a beautifully painted cover by Tony Gleeson, originally intended in the '70s for Amazing Stories Magazine.
Among the other goodies you'll find in this packed issue: plentiful news on new digests and publications about digests, an interview with Tony Gleeson, an in-depth look at the '50s Fotocrime magazine, a history of PulpFest's annual publication, The Pulpster, an overview of the early 20th-century Photoplay series, short stories (disclaimer: I illustrated one), and much more. Even the ads are worth seeking out! This is essential reading for those interested in the history of digest and related genre magazines.

Recently Read: The Digest Enthusiast, Book Five
Besides the privilege of illustrating one of the fiction short stories inside ("Feed the Beast", by Lesann Berry), I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Digest Enthusiast Book Five, anyway!
I was glad to see The Pulpster and Nostalgia Digest covered, two other publications I enjoy every issue of. I was surprised to discover, in reporting by publisher Richard Krauss, how few copies of nationally distributed digest magazines are being printed. Support digest magazines while you can. They may not always be here.
The publication is packed with articles on The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, an interview with mystery author Bill Crider,research on Worlds of Fantasy #4, the Ellery Queen Selects series, Marvel Science Stories, the Magazine of Horror and more.
If you're interested in the history of old magazines, The Digest Enthusiast is a must-buy.
