Bryce Walton

Born in Missouri in 1918, Bryce Walton became a prolific American writer whose work appeared across the pulp era and beyond. He wrote science fiction, adventure, and mystery, and also published under other names, a common practice for busy magazine writers of his time.

His career reached into television as well as print. He was credited on Captain Video and His Video Rangers, one of early TV's landmark science-fiction series, and his connection to suspense fiction grew stronger when he won the Alfred Hitchcock Best Short Story award in 1961.

Walton died in 1988, but his work still circulates through reprints, archives, and audiobook and public-domain collections. He remains an appealing figure for readers who enjoy fast, imaginative storytelling from the golden age of popular magazine fiction.
