Ku...ISFDB is wrong about Kuttner's first story. Kuttner would have been around 16 years old in 1931 and EXTREMELY unlikely to have authored "The Monkey Wrench" in JUNGLE STORIES.<br /><br />"Bertram W. Williams" was a house-name and an overzealous amateur modified ISFDB erroneously. The confusion stems from the fact that Kuttner DID have a story in STRANGE STORIES with the Williams name, "The Curse of the Crocodile, August 1939.<br /><br />"The Graveyard Rats," is Kuttner's first story in print, but not his first sale. Kuttner's first sale was a poem {"Ballad of the Gods") to WEIRD TALES. All of this is recorded in the Kuttner letters to H.P. Lovecraft.<br />Stephen Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253163724539776987noreply@blogger.com
