1883–1957
Best remembered for fast-moving adventure and mystery stories, this early 20th-century American writer published work that still turns up in public-domain collections and audiobook catalogs. His fiction has an old-school pulp energy, with plenty of suspense and action.

by O. O. (Olin Oglesby) Ellis, E. B. (Enoch Barton) Garey
Born in 1883 and dying in 1957, E. B. Garey wrote popular fiction under the name E. B. Garey, a short form of Enoch Barton Garey. Surviving catalog records connect him with adventure and mystery writing, and his work remains visible today through reader and audiobook archives.
Although detailed biographical information appears to be limited online, his stories have had a long afterlife in public-domain and speculative-fiction databases, which suggests a career that reached a wide magazine and anthology audience. He is the kind of author many modern listeners discover through vintage tales rather than through a large modern biography.
For readers who enjoy rediscovering lesser-known writers from the pulp and early genre era, Garey offers that sense of finding a capable storyteller whose work has outlived its original moment.
