About the author

Henry Still is identified by Project Gutenberg as an author born in 1920, and the Internet Speculative Fiction Database lists him as an English-language science fiction writer. The record that can be confirmed from available sources is small, but it points to a career centered on magazine science fiction.

His best-known confirmed work is "Slow Burn," a story that appeared in Worlds of If Science Fiction in October 1955 and is now available through Project Gutenberg. ISFDB also lists other short stories including "Gold Is Anywhere" (1955), "Sales Resistance" (1956), "Christopher Hart's Borkle" (1956), and "Catalyst" (1961), showing a run of published speculative fiction across the 1950s and early 1960s.

Open Library also attributes ** The Dirty Animal ** to him, first published in 1967. Beyond those bibliographic details, reliable biographical information about his life appears to be scarce in the sources checked, so it is safest to remember him primarily through the fiction he left behind.
