Sheldon, Roy
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author, House name.
UK House Name used by Hamilton & Co. (which published Panther Books) on short fiction and full-length novels in Authentic Science Fiction 1951-1952 and on a number of routine sf novels 1952-1954 by H J Campbell and E C Tubb. George Hay – included in the above list in the second edition of this encyclopedia – did not in fact publish under this name. The novel Moment Out of Time (1952) was commissioned from Hay by Hamilton and Co. but rejected, and a replacement story written (possibly but not certainly by H J Campbell) to match the prepared cover. This novel is Prehistoric SF, as is the otherwise unrelated Magdah diptych [see Checklist below]. [JC/DRL]
