Notes: The first new stories since the freeze appeared but neither were particularly good. The Castellon story was originally written by by Clark Dimond & Terry Bisson but Castellon didn’t understand the script and changed the story so drastically that Bisson & Dimond’s names were dropped. The Ms. Corey mentioned in the story was based on Terry Bisson’s fiancé. As the money crunch continued it became clear that Warren had two horror magazines to publish but only enough of a budget for one so each issue between here and early 1970 had reprinted stories for half or more of its content.
