Description
Two-Year Subscription + Harry Houdini’s Unpublished Manuscript
Two Years of Extraordinary Mystery Fiction—Beginning with a Remarkable Houdini Discovery!
For readers who can’t get enough of great mysteries, The Strand Magazine offers two years of original fiction, literary discoveries, exclusive interviews, and insightful reviews—along with our historic Harry Houdini centennial issue.
For the first time, readers can discover “An Interesting Scrapbook,” a previously unpublished work by Harry Houdini.
Preserved among Houdini’s papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, this fascinating manuscript reveals the legendary escape artist’s deep interest in the history of magic.
Rather than recounting his own spectacular feats, Houdini turns his attention to the colorful magicians and entertainers who preceded him, preserving their achievements and exploring the world of nineteenth-century theatrical magic.
Why did this prolific writer never publish the manuscript? A century after his death in Detroit on October 31, 1926, the question remains unanswered.
The Strand Magazine brings Houdini’s long-hidden writing to readers in full for the first time in a special issue commemorating the centennial of his death.
Your Two-Year Subscription Includes:
- The special Harry Houdini issue featuring his unpublished “An Interesting Scrapbook.”
- A two-year subscription to The Strand Magazine, published quarterly.
- Original mysteries, suspense stories, and literary discoveries.
- Exclusive conversations with leading mystery and thriller authors.

Also in the Houdini Issue: A haunting mystery by C. J. Tudor, a new Sherlock Holmes-related adventure by Tim Newton Anderson, a wickedly entertaining story by E. J. Carson, and interviews with Lee Child and Lucy Foley.
A two-year subscription offers an extended journey through the world of The Strand Magazine, where classic literary traditions meet the best of contemporary mystery writing.
