German-born Curt Siodmak is perhaps best known for his cult classic sci-fi and horror movies, such as The Wolf Man and Son of Dracula. This outstanding writer, one of the founding members of the Writers Guild of America, has also written 26 novels, in English and his native language. Among these, Donovan's Brain was hailed by Stephen King as a unique work that surpassed even the originality of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Not only was it filmed four times, but Orson Welles adapted it into a radio presentation. A gifted writer, screenwriter, and director, Siodmak recently received the Commander's Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In his autobiography, he recalls being forced to emigrate to the United States in the 1930s as the Nazis took power in Germany. As a Jewish immigrant, Siodmak's experience of adjusting to his new home amid the turmoil of World War II powerfully affected his perception of freedom and of human dynamics. Wolf Man's Maker describes how this writer, through the genres of sci-fi and horror, created stories which reflected this historical perspective and his search for a truth which affects all of his viewers.

Curt Siodmak was a writer who was always ahead of his time. Today there are many writers who are comfortable in both print and film; there is also frequent overlap between science fiction and horror. But Siodmak was doing all this -- and doing it well -- before anyone else.He helped bring real science fiction to the movies (The Magnetic Monster, Riders to the Stars) and television (with scripts for Men into Space and Science Fiction Theatre). But his greatest fame as a scriptwriter was in the field of horror, with his creation of the character forever linked with Lon Chaney, Jr., The Wolf Man.How appropriate that his greatest novel should be the basis of three legitimate film versions and endless variations in other movies and television shows. Donovan's Brain is one of the most influential novels of our times.Dr. Patrick Cory is a scientist who, unable to save the life of W.H. Donovan after a plane crash, keeps his brain alive through an illegal experiment.The story provid
