Steven G. Mitchell: Better known under a score of pseudonyms, especially Maxentius Andor Scarlatti. Steve is a prolific writer, and his stories have appeared in magazines like Classic Pulp Fiction Stories, Dark Fantasy, Double Danger Tales, Fantasy, Crosroads, Midnight, Shambler, Starquest SF, Weirdbook, and other small press magazines. Under the Scarlatti guise he has written more than three-dozen pulp-hero pastiches, involving such figures as the Black Guardian, Doc Pagan, Dreadstone, the Hooded Hunter, Madame Thirteen, The Tarantula, The Tiger, Night Star, and others. He even made time to write new stories of some of the old heroes like the Black Bat (See above issue of Double Danger Tales). In Classic Pulp Fiction Stories #6, he wrote Frankenstein Versus The Aztec Mummy, as by Esteban Miranda. Retired now, and living happily with his family in Fort Worth, Steve worked as a managing editor for proposal development for an aerospace/defense company. When not writing lurid pulp fiction, he often plays wargames, and watches obscure European horror films. Steve and his family visited us one year while in our area.
Thanks for posting ... apart from the awesome artwork of the book/magazine covers, it's always a delight to discover new authors from this genre and past era.
