Frederick Schiller Faust (1892 Ð 1944), a popular American author, wrote literary westerns under the pen name Max Brand (he also used a variety of other different pseudonyms). He created a series of pulp fiction novels about Dr. James Kildare, a young medical intern. These became successful films and a television series starring Richard Chamberlain and Raymond Massey. Faust died on the Italian front while serving as a war correspondent. Peter Haining (1940 Ð 2007) was a prolific writer and editor on subjects ranging from crime and horror to witchcraft and fantasy. He became Editorial Director of the New English Library publishing house.
