About the author
Edward S. Staub was an American science fiction writer active in the 1950s. Public records available online identify him as Edward S. Staub, born in 1910 and died in 1958.
He is best known for The Psilent Partner, a novel written with John Victor Peterson and first published in the pulp science fiction world of that era. His name is also associated with later reprints and rediscoveries of vintage speculative fiction, which have helped keep his work available for modern readers.
Reliable biographical detail beyond those basic facts is scarce, so much of his profile now rests on the stories themselves: brisk, imaginative fiction shaped by the classic concerns of mid-century SF, especially the possibilities and risks of unusual mental powers.
