Paul W. Fairman replaced Browne as editor in September 1956. Early in Fairman's tenure, Bernard Davis decided to try issuing a companion series of novels, titled "Amazing Stories Science Fiction Novels". Readers' letters in "Amazing" had indicated a desire for novels, which "Amazing" did not have room to run. The novel series did not last; only one, Henry Slesar's "20 Million Miles to Earth", appeared. However, in response to readers' interest in longer fiction, Ziff-Davis expanded "Amazing" by 16 pages, starting with the March 1958 issue, and the magazine began to run complete novels.
