Bio: Stanley Mullen (1911-73)began selling stories in 1948, in his late 30s and stopped a decade later in 1958 due to health and changing markets, after publishing forty some stories and his only novel, Kinsmen of the Dragon. Although the majority of his stories were colorful pulp action yarns published in Planet Stories, he occasionally wrote a more carefully controlled serious piece for Astounding and contributed dark fantasy to Weird Tales and Fantastic Stories. His most popular story was "Space to Swing a Cat," which appeared in the June 1958 issue of Astounding, and was nominated for the 1959 Hugo Award for best sf short story. His only other book, a collection of weird tales, was published in a limited edition as Moonfoam and Sorceries.
