After five issues, publisher Wildside Press has “indefinitely suspended” print publication of H.P. Lovecraft’s Magazine of Horror, which has been edited by Marvin Kaye. “All remaining subscriptions are now being fulfilled with Weird Tales, which now features a regular Lovecraft-themed column.” No decisions have yet been finalized, but Wildside is considering continuing the magazine in some on-line form.
In the meantime, issue #5 is available as a free, 96-page pdf file from the link in this post. Contents of this Spring 2009, all-fiction special issue include:
“The Outsider: Buried Alive” by Marvin Kaye (editorial)
“A Bit of Life” by Alexandra Elizabeth Honigsberg & David M. Honigsberg
“Cherrystones and Shards of Ice” by Ekaterina Sedia

I wonder if anyone noticed it suspended publication? I subscribed before it went to press. It was supposed to be a quarterly–in five years Wildside published 4 1/2 (yes, a half-issue) issues of the magazine. I’m surprised Wildside’s still in business–it’s a perfect example of how NOT to run a publishing concern.
