About the author
Born in Boswell, Oklahoma, Joseph Everidge Kelleam was an American writer best known for science fiction. His first published story, Rust, appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1939, placing him among the magazine writers who helped shape the field during its pulp and early Golden Age years.
Reference works describe him as both an author and a civil servant, and as an occasional but memorable contributor to science fiction. His novels included Overlords from Space (1956), The Little Men (1960), Hunters of Space (1960), and When the Red King Woke (1966), along with the later collection Good-Bye to Babylon.
Kelleam died on June 15, 1975. Though not one of the most widely known names of his era, he remains of interest to readers who enjoy classic magazine SF, compact adventure novels, and the atmosphere of mid-century speculative fiction.
