The rollicking true story of the legendary writer and editor who ruled over Americas fantasy and supernatural pulp journals in the midtwentieth century, and shaped todays UFO and scifi cultures: Ray Palmer.Meet Ray Palmer. A hustler, a trickster, and a visionary. The hunchbacked Palmer, who stood at just over four feet tall, was nevertheless an indomitable force, the ruler of his own bizarre sector of the universe. Armed with only his typewriter, Palmer changed the world as we know it jumpstarting the flying saucer craze; frightening hundreds of thousands of Americans with true stories of evil denizens of inner earth; and reporting on coverups involving extraterrestrials, the paranormal, and secret government agencies.As editor for the groundbreaking scifi magazine Amazing Stories and creator of publications such as Other Worlds, Imagination, Fate, Mystic, Search, Flying Saucers, Hidden World, and Space Age, Palmer pushed the limits and broke new ground in science fiction publishing in the 1940s and 1950sand was reviled for it by purists who called him the man who killed science fiction.In the firstever biography devoted to the figure who molded modern geek culture, pulp scholar Fred Nadis paints a vivid portrait of Palmera brilliant, charming, and wildly willful iconoclast who helped ignite the UFO craze, convinced Americans of hidden worlds and government cover ups, and championed the occult and paranormal.Palmer overcame serious physical handicaps to become the most significant editor during the golden age of pulp magazines; he rebelled in his own inimitable way against the bland suburban vision of the American Dream; he concocted new literary genres; and he molded our current conspiracy culture decades before The XFiles claimed that the truth was out there.
