About the author
Julian F. Grow was a science-fiction author whose stories appeared in American genre magazines during the 1960s. His published work includes “The Fastest Gun Dead,” first published in Worlds of If in March 1961, and “The Starman of Pritchard’s Creek,” published in If in December 1968.
Grow also contributed “Bonita Egg” to the September 1969 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. His surviving fiction suggests a knack for mixing adventurous settings with comic twists and imaginative speculative ideas.
Little reliable biographical information about Grow’s life has been preserved, so he remains a largely obscure figure whose work is better documented than his personal history.
