HERBERT, Benson

HERBERT, Benson
(1912-1991)
   UK writer with a master's degree in science who began publishing sf in US magazines with "The World Without" for Wonder Stories in 1931 and was fairly active in the 1930s. Crisis! - 1992 (1935 Wonder Stories as "The Perfect World"; 1936) deals with the ominous passage ofanother planet close to Earth's orbit, and with what humans discover when they land on it: the planet is actually a giant SPACESHIP. The book was prefaced by M.P. SHIEL. During WWII BH wrote several very short, moderately exuberant SPACE OPERAS: Hand of Glory: Strange Adventures in the Pennines (?1943 chap); Thieves of the Air (?1943 chap) with Festus PRAGNELL; Strange Romance (1943 chap) and The Red-Haired Girl (1944 chap).With Walter GILLINGS as director, BH financed and founded Utopia Publications, which published some sf, including the AMERICAN FICTION series and STRANGE TALES.
