Entry updated 21 April 2025. Tagged: Author.

(? - ) UK author who, with Stanley Stewart (their relationship, along with everything else about them, is unknown), published The Professor's Last Experiment (1888), in which a scientifically superior Alien from Mars arrives on Earth but is captured by a vivisectionist, who – inspired by a misapprehension of the workings of Evolution – chops off the visitor's wings as an experiment, deliberately eschewing the use of an anaesthetic (see Torture), and cutting off his tongue so he cannot expose what has been done to him.
