FIRTH, N. Wesley

FIRTH, N. Wesley
    Working name of UK writer Norman Firth (1920-1949), who began his career during WWII writing pulp Westerns and thrillers. He wrote stories variously as Rice Ackman, Earl Ellison, Leslie Halward and perhaps other names; his first sf publication was almost certainly "Obscene Parade" (1946 Weird Story Magazine). His first novel, Terror Strikes (1946 chap),is of some interest through its extremely close resemblance to H.G. WELLS's The Invisible Man (1897). Spawn of the Vampire (1946 chap) is ahastily concocted horror tale. NF wrote the entire contents of FUTURISTIC STORIES (1946) and STRANGE ADVENTURES (1946-7). He was a writer ofpotential worth, but died (of TB) at the age of 29 before proving it.
