About the author
Born in 1917 and later identified as William J. Garson, he wrote science fiction as Bill Garson and under the pseudonym Vaseleos Garson. Reference sources on speculative fiction credit him with publishing genre work beginning with "One Against the Stars" in Planet Stories in 1944, and describe him as moderately active in the field during the 1940s.
Project Gutenberg and related library records connect his name with novels including The Shadow-Gods and Acid Bath, preserving the fast-moving, imaginative style associated with pulp-era science fiction. Other biographical listings describe him not only as a writer, but also as an editor and historian.
He died in 2000. Although detailed biographical material is limited, the record that survives suggests a writer whose interests stretched beyond fiction alone, from speculative adventures on the page to historical and editorial work closer to home.
