A World Called Crimson Stephen Marlowe
A boy and a girl are shipwrecked and end up on a strange new planet alive with hideous dangers. But the boy and girl were very young and all Robin wanted to know was: "Who stole my doll?" This classic science fiction short story first appeared in Amazing Stories in September 1956. In the original publication, A World Called Crimson was attributed to "Darius John Granger," which is thought to be a pen name for Stephen Marlowe (1928-2008). Marlowe wrote science fiction, mystery novels, and fictional autobiographies of Christopher Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes, and Edgar Allan Poe. Marlowe is best known for his detective character Chester Drum, whom he created in the 1955 novel The Second Longest Night. Marlowe was born as Milton Lesser, but legally changed his name to Stephen Marlowe, one of his many pen names, in the late 1950s. Marlowe also wrote under the pseudonyms Adam Chase, Andrew Frazer, C.H. Thames, Jason Ridgway, and Ellery Queen (the pen name Ellery Queen was created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee, and was used by multiple authors).
