Ainslee's Magazine June 1915 - Front Cover featuring a woman and a dog

Ainslee’s Magazine, or Ainslee’s, was a popular American literary magazine that was published monthly by Howard, Ainslee & Co (a division of the Street & Smith publishing house in New York City). The first issue of Ainslee’s magazine was published in 1898. The last issue was for December 1926.

The magazine was briefly resurrected during the mid-1930s and published as Ainslee’s Smart Love Stories.

During its initial print run, Ainslee’s published the work of many famous authors including P. G. Wodehouse, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, W. W. Jacobs, and F. Marion Crawford. Although Ainslee’s was not a genre magazine, some of the tales featured in its pages, such as Crawford’s The Dead Smile, boast excellent credentials as horror stories.
