About the author
Very little biographical information about Garold S. Hatfield has been preserved. He is chiefly known for “Doorway to Destruction,” a science-fiction short story published in the Winter 1942 issue of Planet Stories.
The story follows scientist Kelvin Martin, whose machine can reach other universes, and the ambitious assistant who wants to exploit it. Hatfield’s work is now available through Project Gutenberg, where it is catalogued as a public-domain science-fiction story in the United States.
