Home Brew was an American humour and horror fiction pulp magazine. The magazine was set up by George Julian Houtain and his wife E. Dorothy MacLaughlin.[1]
It was known for its slightly racy nature and was dedicated to challenging gender roles, moral codes and prohibition.[2]
H. P. Lovecraft was paid $5 each for a series of "Grewsome Tales" which became "Herbert West--Reanimator" and later the magazine published "The Lurking Fear" as a four-part serial. Lovecraft regarded it as a "vile rag" for which he produced "artificial hack-work".
It was renamed "High Life" before closing in 1924.
