R. DeWitt Miller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard DeWitt Miller (1910-1958) was an American writer of science fiction and Forteana. His first sf publication was "The Shapes", which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1936. His non-fiction book length works include You Do Take It With You (1936), a book about Fortean phenomena. He wrote one sf novel, which was first published in 1938 by Astounding as by Miller alone, under the title "The Master Shall Not Die", with no collaborator; it did not reach book form until 1956, when it was published by Ace Books in their dos-a-dos format Ace Doubles, under the title The Man Who Lived Forever, with co-author Anna Hunger. The book was bound back-to-back with Jerry Sohl's The Mars Monopoly. He also wrote a fantasy: The Loose Board in the Floor (1951).
