Short Fiction Various: Past Masters Seventy-Eight, v1, 16 May 2022

[Pulpmeister]

More short stories in the Life + 70 Public Domain, gathered from sources such as newspapers and magazines.

Many writers produced short stories which were never anthologised, not republished in author collections, but appeared just once, in a newspaper or magazine, and were forgotten. Others, which have appeared in anthologies (collections of stories by various authors) or single-author collections, have also disappeared because those anthologies were never reprinted, also vanishing and forgotten.

Resources such as the Australian National Library's TROVE online newspaper and magazine collection, in which the text of the stories can be found in OCRd form as well as page images, and Internet Archive's huge on-line magazine library, are my principal sources of out-of-copyright fiction.
This issue of Past Masters contains stories in crime, humour, weird, and other genres.
