author
A pulp-era science fiction writer whose work reached readers in classic magazines, with stories full of strange worlds and big speculative ideas. Best known today for The Time-Techs of Kra, Sheridan has been rediscovered by modern readers through archival and reprint editions.

by Max C. Sheridan
Max C. Sheridan was a science fiction writer whose work appeared during the pulp-magazine era. Reliable catalog and archive records connect his name with stories published in magazines such as Thrilling Wonder Stories, Super Science Stories, and Planet Stories.
His best-known work is The Time-Techs of Kra, a novella published in Planet Stories in Fall 1954. The story has remained visible through later reprints and digital archives, which is why his name still surfaces for readers exploring mid-century magazine science fiction.
Very little confirmed biographical information about Sheridan appears to be readily available in the sources I found. What can be said with confidence is that he was part of the lively pulp science fiction world, contributing imaginative adventure fiction that has outlasted its original magazine run.
