I basically started this list for my own benefit. Around 1994, I happened to acquire a great many issues of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (a short story fiction magazine which I've read occasionally since around 1983-84). I acquired a bunch of issues from the 1940s, some from the 1950s, and nearly every issue (maybe missing around a dozen or so) from 1961 to 1992. As I came across interesting authors in the magazine's pages, I wanted to know what other work by the author had appeared in EQMM's pages. So, I started compiling a list.
I started from 1942 (my earliest issue) and gradually got up to the early 1970s, which is where I stopped around 14 years ago. I've always intended to complete the list, but just never got around to doing so. Maybe someday I will finish the list. In the meantime, I've posted it here in case anyone would like to know which stories appeared in which issues of EQMM. I've occasionally bought old issues of EQMM off eBay, and I know others do as well (they frequently outbid me!), and perhaps this list will be useful for those buyers interested in acquiring particular issues off eBay.
You will notice that some of the lines/entries appear in italics. That means that I don't have that particular issue, but that I got the information from the little story index that EQMM ran in the back of the book twice a year, listing what stories had been published during the previous 6 months. I assume the entries are accurate, but I figured I should differentiate between stories I had and stories I didn't.
The work is listed according to author's name. I listed them normally (e.g., "Agatha Christie" instead of "Christie, Agatha") even though it is the last name which is in alphabetical order, not the first name. Titles of books are underlined, titles of magazines and newspapers appear in italics. The name of the lead character, when I knew, appears in brackets at the end of the entry. If I wasn't sure if a story was a reprint or not, but if it had an old copyright date (which suggests to me that it was a reprint), then I usually list the date given in the copyright, too.
Links to the index pages can be found below. I began updating this page in June 2014, after having made no updates since November 2002. I have added links to the author's Wikipedia entry when available (or, if not, another site with more information about the author). In 2021, I fixed the links below.
