- John Stewart "Jack" Williamson was a prolific fiction writer of novels and short stories in the science-fiction genre. He replaced Robert A. Heinlein as the "Dean of Science Fiction" in 1988.
His novel "Darker Than You Think" (1948) is perhaps his best known and has since been included in the Gollancz SF and Fantasy Masterworks collection that also includes Ray Bradbury's 1962 novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and Richard Matheson's 1954 masterpiece "I Am Legend". "Darker Than You Think" is the tale of an ongoing war between humankind and werewolves, that latter living hidden amongst the former.
Jack Williamson sadly passed away in 2006, but will be remembered as one of the best science-fiction authors of all time. - Writer
