- Robert E Howard: The magazine was the birthplace of Conan, Solomon Kane and Kull
- HP Lovecraft: Contributed several stories, most notably "The Call of Cthulhu".
- Magician Detective: For a time the magazine had stories featuring Harry Houdini.
- Tennessee Williams: Believe it or not, he submitted a story to the magazine, the Very Loosely Based on a True Story "The Vengeance of Nitocris".
- It got a Comic Book Adaptation in Savage Sword of Conan #216, which was filled with Shout-Out after Shout-Out to Williams' other works.
