About the author
Ivar Jorgensen was a floating pseudonym used in mid-century science-fiction magazines, including Amazing Stories, Fantastic, If, Imagination, and Imaginative Tales. Although several writers used the name, it is most strongly associated with Paul W. Fairman, who wrote novels such as Rest in Agony, Ten from Infinity, and Whom the Gods Would Slay under the pseudonym.
Fairman was an American editor and writer who worked across science fiction, mystery, horror, westerns, and juvenile fiction. He helped launch If magazine and later edited Amazing Stories and Fantastic. His story “Deadly City,” published as by Ivar Jorgensen, was adapted into the 1954 science-fiction film Target Earth.
