Biographies

Garrett Serviss (1851-1929)
"In 1898 Serviss added to his already burgeoning reputation by contributing a sequel to H.G. Wells’ famous tale of interplanetary war, The War of the Worlds. The sequel was called Edison’s Conquest of Mars." [Bottom of page: Einstein’s Theory of Relativity]
Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961)
"Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961), perhaps best known today for his association with H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, is in his own right a unique master of fantasy, horror and science-fiction."
