About the author
Magnus Ludens is a fairly obscure author, and the confirmed public record appears to be very small. Reliable catalog sources including Project Gutenberg and The Online Books Page list two science-fiction works under this name: My Lady Selene and The Long, Silvery Day.
Those stories were originally published in classic pulp magazines in the 1950s and later preserved in digital archives, which is why readers can still discover them today. Because biographical information is so limited, it is safest to remember Magnus Ludens through the fiction itself: compact, idea-driven tales from the mid-century magazine era.
