Arnold Marmor (1927–1978) was a prolific pulp writer whose science-fiction stories appeared in magazines such as Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy during the 1950s. His surviving stories include “Fish Fry,” a humorous tale of an alien caught while fishing off Key West, and “Spies Die Hard!,” a fast-moving Martian espionage story.
Marmor also wrote spy and crime fiction, including work associated with the Nick Carter line, before moving into the more lurid paperback market. Titles credited to him include Love Addiction, Boudoir Treachery, and How Green Was My Lover, reflecting the blend of adventure, intrigue, and sensuality that defined much of his later writing.
