About the author
Anthony Pelcher was an American writer of pulp fiction, active especially in the 1930s. His surviving public-domain presence points most clearly to science-fiction magazine work from that period, and he is associated with stories such as Vampires of Venus.
Today, Pelcher is easiest to discover through archive and volunteer-library projects that preserve early genre fiction. That afterlife suits his work well: his stories come from the era when speculative fiction was bold, energetic, and eager to entertain.
Although biographical details are limited in the sources available here, the record consistently identifies him as living from 1897 to 1981. For listeners who enjoy classic pulp writing, Pelcher offers a snapshot of science fiction in its magazine age.
