American science fiction fan, publisher and writer, secular and religious publisher, and minister. Echbach published two short-lived magazines during the early 1930s, Marvel Tales and The Galleon. He initiated Fantasy Press, a small press which published the work of authors such as E. E. Smith, Jack Williamson, Robert A. Heinlein and John W. Campbell, Jr. Eshbach was a church publisher from 1958 to 1962, then he was a salesman for the Moody Bible Institute until retirement in 1975. Upon his retirement, he became a pastor in the Evangelical Congregational Church and served churches of that denomination in Pennsylvania. His memoirs, Over My Shoulder: Reflections on a Science Fiction Era, were published in 1983; and his last novel, The Scroll of Lucifer, in 1990. He also edited Of Worlds Beyond: The Science of Science Fiction Writing (1947), the first book-length work on science fiction writing from a professional point of view. Eshbach died on 29 October 2003, aged 93. Link to Wikipedia biography
