About the author
Born in 1914 and dying in 1959, Ralph Williams was an American author who wrote both science fiction and crime fiction. Reference sources on speculative fiction describe him as a prolific magazine writer whose work appeared during the pulp era, and note that he also used pseudonyms.
His stories were published in a range of popular magazines, and his reputation today rests largely on short fiction rather than a few major books. That mix of productivity, genre-hopping, and magazine work makes him a good example of the versatile mid-20th-century pulp writer.
