Edmond Moore Hamilton
pen names: Alexander Blade, Robert Castle, Hugh Davidson, Will Garth, Eduard Hamilton, Brett Sterling, S. M. Tenneshaw, Robert O. Wentworth and Robert Wentworth.
born Youngstown, Ohio: 21 October 1904
died Lancaster, California: 1 February 1977
Edmond Hamilton was an American author of science fiction, horror, fantasy, crime fiction, and superhero fiction.
His first published SFF short story was The Monster God of Mamurth (1926), in Weird Tales. He would eventually publish 79 works of fiction in Weird Tales; one of their most prolific contributors, and help to popularise the classic pulp space opera genre.
He is best known for writing most of the Captain Future stories, a science fiction pulp for juvenile readers. He is another of the authors whose work has most often appeared in the queries in the SFF Chronicles Book Search forum, an indication that it is remembered with fondness.
He is noted for his novels, The Star of Life (1947), The Valley of Creation (1948), City at World's End (1951) and The Haunted Stars (1960). In this more mature phase of his works, he produced less sentimental and romantic fantasy, and his stories became more realistic and not as fantastic.
His works have themes of first contact, mad scientists, alien invasions, human experimentation, telepathy and anti-gravity.
He was married to Leigh Brackett.
