About the author
Very little biographical information about Arthur T. Harris has been firmly documented, but his surviving work places him among the writers published in the science-fiction magazine Fantastic Universe during the 1950s.
His story “True to Type,” published in the October 1954 issue, turns a typewriter and a struggling writer’s plagiarism into a supernatural cautionary tale. “Eau de Morgue,” published in June 1956, combines detective fiction, occult intrigue, and science fantasy in a macabre story about a mysterious cosmetic preparation. These works suggest a writer drawn to imaginative premises, sly twists, and darkly comic suspense.
