About the author
Very little confirmed biographical information about Garold S. Hatfield is readily available online, which makes him one of the more mysterious names from the pulp magazine era. What can be confirmed is that he wrote the science fiction story Doorway to Destruction, published in Planet Stories in Winter 1942.
That story later entered the public domain and was released by Project Gutenberg, helping keep Hatfield's name in circulation for modern readers. The tale follows a scientist, a dangerous invention, and an invasion threat from another universe—classic ingredients of mid-century pulp science fiction.
Because so little reliable background survives, Hatfield is best approached through his fiction itself. For listeners who enjoy rediscovering forgotten magazine writers, his work offers a small but vivid window into the excitement and imagination of early 1940s sci-fi.
