About the author
E. D. Skinner is an obscure American science fiction writer associated with the pulp-magazine scene of the late 1920s. Confirmed surviving work includes "Electro-Episoded in A.D. 2025," published in Amazing Stories in August 1927, and "Suitcase Airplanes," which appeared in Air Wonder Stories in November 1929.
Very little biographical information about Skinner appears to be firmly documented in widely available sources. What can be said with confidence is that he was active during an early, inventive period in science fiction publishing, when magazines were filled with bold ideas about future technology, air travel, and everyday life transformed by machines.
That scarcity of personal detail gives his work a certain mystery. For modern readers, Skinner is interesting not because of a long, well-recorded career, but because his surviving stories offer a glimpse of the genre while it was still discovering what the future could look like.
