 As its titles indicate, the magazine specialized in adventure and fantasy stories with Oriental settings and elements.Its stories were largely written by the same distinctive group of authors that filled the pages of "Weird Tales," including Robert E. Howard,  Otis Adelbert Kline, E. Hoffmann Price, Clark Ashton Smith, and Frank Owen, among others.Several of the covers for "Oriental Stories" were drawn by artists J. Allen St. John and Margaret Brundage.
