Eau de morgue

by Arthur T. Harris

About the author

Arthur T. Harris was an English-language writer of science fiction and fantasy whose short fiction appeared in pulp magazines in the 1940s and 1950s. Sources confirm stories including A Cure for Jekyll and Hyde in 1941 and later pieces such as Eau de morgue and True to Type, both of which have since been preserved through Project Gutenberg.

The surviving record available online is slim, but bibliographic sources show a writer drawn to uncanny premises and darkly playful titles. His publication history links him with the magazine world that helped shape popular speculative fiction in the mid-20th century, especially through appearances in outlets such as Amazing Stories and Fantastic Universe.

Because reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources reviewed, much of his story now survives through the fiction itself rather than through a well-documented public profile. For modern listeners, that gives his work an extra layer of charm: these are rediscovered magazine tales from a writer who still feels a little mysterious.
