About the author

Tom W. Harris was a science fiction writer active in the late 1950s. Public catalog records are sparse, but LibriVox identifies him as a writer from that period, and Project Gutenberg lists several of his stories, including Goodbye, Dead Man!, The Fall of Archy House, You'll Like It on Mars!, Flight Into the Unknown, Get Out of My Body!, and Barnstormer.

His fiction sits comfortably in the tradition of short, idea-driven speculative storytelling: quick setups, memorable titles, and a willingness to leap from eerie to playful in just a few pages. That makes his work a good fit for listeners who enjoy vintage science fiction and horror with a distinctly classic feel.

Because so little biographical information is easy to confirm from reliable public sources, the writer himself remains a bit mysterious. In a way, that mystery suits the stories—compact adventures that still carry the flavor of the magazine-era imagination.
