About the Author

Henry Kuttner (1915-1958) sold his first short story, "The Graveyard Rats," to "Weird Tales" magazine in 1936. He went on to write 170 short stories and 15 novels in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. The prolific, acclaimed author often wrote in collaboration with his wife, C.L. Moore, and his classic stories served as inspiration for the major motion picture "The Last Mimzy." Hailed by Ray Bradbury as "a neglected master" and "a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years," Kuttner's work is not to be missed.
