Avon Fantasy Reader was a digest-size magazine (sometimes classed as a series of anthologies) that reprinted science fiction and fantasy literature by now well-known authors. It was edited by Donald A. Wollheim and published by Avon. The magazine had one spin-off, Avon Science Fiction Reader, with which it merged on its cancellation to become Avon Science Fiction and Fantasy Reader.
This issue contains the Conan story A WITCH SHALL BE BORN. It also contains a story by H. P. Lovecraft.
