"The first issue of INFERNO FICTION was published in late 1985 and contained a full length story called 'Cursed!' by Darren Field. The second issue followed in the spring of 1986 and ran inconsistently for another three issues before INFERNO FICTION was revamped into an A5 format the first of which was published in 1996 and ran for four issues."
