About the author

Very little is known about Alan J. Ramm’s life. Available biographical notes identify him as Alan John Ramm, born in Buffalo, New York, in 1914 and deceased in 1985.

Ramm appears to have written four science-fiction short stories during the 1950s. His surviving bibliography includes Death Walks on Mars, Test Problem, and Trouble Near the Sun, placing him among the many brief but memorable contributors to mid-century pulp science fiction.

Though his career was short and his personal history remains largely undocumented, Ramm’s stories continue to find new readers through digital archives, reprints, and audiobook adaptations.
