The magazine was named after Grub Street , a former street in London 's impoverished Moorfields . In the 18th and 19th centuries, the street was known for its accumulation of mediocre, impoverished scribes , budding poets and cheap publishers and booksellers who existed on the fringes of the journalistic and literary scene. The Grub Streets - Bohemians of the impoverished literary scene settled in the middle of the poor neighborhood between the cheap accommodation, brothels and coffee houses.
Horror writer Ronald Malfi published some of his early stories during his student days at Towson University on Grub Street .
