About the author
Very little confirmed biographical information about this author appears to be available online. What can be verified is that Lyman D. Hinckley wrote Dust Unto Dust, a science fiction story published in Planet Stories in the Summer 1955 issue, and that the story has since been preserved and republished through Project Gutenberg.
That surviving story places him in the world of classic pulp science fiction, where short, imaginative adventures first reached readers through magazines. Even with so little personal history on record, his name remains attached to a vivid corner of 1950s speculative fiction.
For readers browsing older genre work, Hinckley is one of those obscure authors whose reputation rests on a small but memorable piece of magazine-era storytelling.
