INTRODUCTION: DAMON KNIGHT
Damon Francis Knight 1922–2002) was an American science fiction author, editor and critic. He is the author of To Serve Man,
a 1950 short story adapted for the original TV series The Twilight Zone. (To Serve Man
even won a Retro Hugo.) He was born in Baker, Oregon in 1922, and grew up in Hood River, Oregon. He entered science-fiction fandom at the age of eleven and published two issues of a fanzine entitled Snide.
Knight’s first professional sale was a cartoon to a science-fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. His first story sale, The Itching Hour,
appeared in the Summer 1940 number of Futuria Fantasia (edited and published by fellow fan Ray Bradbury, who also went on to great things.) Resilience
followed in the February 1941 number of Stirring Science Stories, edited by Donald Wollheim. Unfortunately, an editorial error made the story’s ending incomprehensible. Ultimately the correct text was reprinted in a 1978 magazine—it ran just four pages, with a two-page introduction by Knight.
At the time of his first story sale, Knight was living in New York city and was a member of the Futurians. One of his short stories describes paranormal disruption of a science fiction fan group, and contains cameo appearances of various science fiction figures under thinly-disguised names
