Charles Beaumont (b. Charles Nutt) was born in Chicago in 1929. He led a strange, isolated childhood, leading him to develop an adventurous imagination. In tenth grade, he dropped out of high school to join the army, and later moved to Los Angeles to seek a career as an actor, writer, or artist. In 1954, his story "Black Country" became the first story published in Playboy magazine. Over the course of the next ten years, he published two novels, three collections of short stories, and penned an estimated twenty-two episodes for The Twilight Zone. He died in 1967.
