Chester Cohen
A little-known voice from mid-century science fiction, this writer left behind brisk, imaginative stories tied to the lively New York fandom scene of the 1940s and 1950s. His surviving work offers a glimpse of pulp-era SF at its scrappy, inventive best.

About the author
Chester Cohen is remembered as a writer of short science fiction and as part of the New York fan community around the Futurians, an influential group whose members included several future editors and authors. Reliable online catalog and archive sources connect his name with pulp-era SF publications and later public-domain reprints.
Two of his known stories, Forbidden Flight and Round-Up Time, are available through Project Gutenberg, and library-style listings describe him as an author of short science fiction. Some sources also note that he published under the name Chester B. Conant.
Biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so this profile stays close to what is documented: a minor but interesting figure from classic American science fiction fandom whose work still circulates through volunteer archives and audiobook projects.
