Moses Schere
1913–1996
Best known for pulp-era science fiction, this elusive writer left behind a small body of imaginative work that still turns up in vintage magazine archives and digital reprints. Writing as Moses Schere—and later associated with the name Monroe Schere—he remains a minor but intriguing figure from mid-century popular fiction.

About the author
Moses Schere was an American writer born in 1913 and died in 1996. Bibliographic sources identify Moses Schere as a pen name or alternate form of Monroe Schere, and note that he also published under M. Schere.
His surviving record points to a modest but varied writing career. Science-fiction indexes and magazine listings credit him with stories in the pulp era, including "Mind Worms," which appeared in Planet Stories in Spring 1948 and has since been reprinted by Project Gutenberg. Other listings connect the Monroe Schere name with additional books, suggesting that his work ranged beyond magazine fiction.
Very little confirmed biographical detail seems to be publicly documented, which gives him the air of one of those half-hidden paperback and pulp authors whose stories outlast the facts of their lives. What can be said with confidence is that his name is still remembered by readers of vintage speculative fiction.
