Sewell Peaslee Wright (1897-1970) was an American science fiction writer, journalist, advertising writer, radio operator, pulp writer, and editor. Sewell served in the military during World War 1 and was a fan favorite of early pulp scifi magazines. A regular contributor to Astounding Stories and Weird Tales, Wright is probably best remembered for his Vampires of Space, although it was not his best work. He was also a contributor to other magazines such as Munsey’s Magazine and Collier’s Weekly. His many works include The House in the Willows, The Forgotten Planet, The Priestess of the Flame, The Terror from the Depths, and The Death Traps of FX-31.

His experience as a radio operator makes him the perfect candidate to finally deliver to us a pulp story about a killer radio and kick off a month of Weird Science Horror.
