Henry Guth

Henry Guth was a science-fiction writer whose surviving work is now easiest to trace through public-domain archives. Project Gutenberg currently lists three works under his name: Signal Red, Planet in Reverse, and Earthbound.

Available evidence suggests he published during the classic pulp-magazine era. Signal Red was originally printed in Planet Stories in Fall 1949, and his fiction is associated with the short, adventure-driven style that defined much popular science fiction of the period.

Very little reliable biographical information about his life appears to be readily available from the sources I could confirm, so many personal details remain uncertain. What can be said with confidence is that his stories have endured through archival preservation, giving modern readers a window into the energetic imagination of postwar genre fiction.
