HULL, E(dna) Mayne

(1905-1975)

   Canadian-born US writer, married from 1939 to A.E. VAN VOGT, who collaborated with her on most of her work, either in its original magazine form or by expanding it for book publication. She began publishing sf with "The Flight that Failed" for ASF in 1942, and made her greatest impact with the Arthur Blord series, later assembled by van Vogt as Planets for Sale (1943-6 ASF; fixup 1954) with EMH alone credited; the 1965 ed credits both authors; and with the magazine version of The WingedMan (1944 ASF; exp van Vogt 1966 with both authors credited). The collection Out of the Unknown (coll 1948) was credited to both writers, and consisted of 6 stories, 3 each, according to their original bylines. EMH ceased writing sf and fantasy when she became involved in DIANETICS.
