'American Fantasy' began as a review magazine, though this endeavor was short-lived: there were only two issues in this format, in February and May of 1982. In 1986, publisher Robert Garcia in Chicago pivoted to a quarterly format, wherein one or two fiction stories were published alongside the more voluminous amounts of non-fiction reviews, essays, and interviews. Contributors included Anne Rice, R. A. Lafferty, Tanith Lee, and Andrew M. Greeley. Relying heavily on visuals, 'American Fantasy' won the World Fantasy Award in 1988 in the non-professional category.
