Remembered for adventurous pulp-era fiction, this early 20th-century writer published stories that brushed up against mystery, action, and the weird. His work has the feel of old magazine storytelling: brisk, colorful, and full of atmosphere.

by Charles Christopher Jenkins
Charles Christopher Jenkins was an American writer born in 1882 and died in 1943. He is now mostly remembered through surviving magazine fiction and later rediscoveries by readers interested in pulp and weird literature.
Available records found during this search are limited, so only a small outline can be confirmed with confidence. Jenkins appears to have written in the early 20th century, and his name is associated with adventure-leaning and strange-fiction publishing circles rather than with a large, widely documented literary career.
That relative obscurity is part of his appeal today. For audiobook listeners and vintage-fiction fans, Jenkins represents the kind of author whose work opens a window onto the magazine culture of his time, where gripping plots and vivid situations mattered most.
