Autorenporträt

Manly Wade Wellman (May 21, 1903 - April 5, 1986) was an American writer best known for his work in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Born in Angola, Indiana, Wellman began his career writing for pulp magazines like Astounding Stories, Startling Stories, Unknown, and Strange Stories. His stories often blended elements of folklore, mythology, and the supernatural with Southern Gothic sensibilities, creating a unique voice within speculative fiction. Wellman's writing was marked by a deep interest in American traditions, particularly those of the South, and often featured eerie, atmospheric settings. He explored themes of the occult, mystery, and human nature, with a particular focus on the moral and spiritual conflicts faced by his characters. His works are notable for their strong sense of place and psychological depth. In addition to his fiction, Wellman received recognition for his non-fiction work, winning the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime. His son, Wade Wellman, followed in his footsteps as a writer. Wellman's notable works include Dead and Gone, Rebel Boast, and Worse Things Waiting. His story The Legend of Hillbilly John was adapted into a film.
