About the author

Henry Kuttner (April 7, 1915–February 3, 1958) was an American author known for science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Born in Los Angeles, he began publishing professionally in 1936, selling stories to Weird Tales, including “The Graveyard Rats.”

Kuttner wrote under several names, including Lewis Padgett, and frequently collaborated with his wife, fellow author C. L. Moore, whom he married in 1940. Together they produced influential stories and novels noted for their humor, inventive ideas, and range.

Beyond his own fiction, Kuttner encouraged younger writers. While working for a literary agency, he helped Leigh Brackett develop her early work. He died in Los Angeles in 1958, leaving behind a body of work that continues to attract readers of classic speculative fiction.
