Karl Edward Wagner referred to him as &#8220;the dean of fantasy writers.&#8221; Wellman also wrote in a wide variety of other genres, including historical fiction, detective fiction, western fiction, juvenile fiction, and non-fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Wellman was a longtime resident of North Carolina. In 2013, the North Carolina Speculative Fiction Foundation inaugurated an award named after him to honor other North Carolina authors of science fiction and fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>Three of Wellman&#8217;s most famous recurring protagonists are John, a.k.a. John the Balladeer, a.k.a. &#8220;Silver John&#8221;, a wandering backwoods minstrel with a silver-stringed guitar; the elderly &#8220;occult detective&#8221; Judge Pursuivant; and John Thunstone, also an occult investigator.<\/p>\n<p>Wellman wrote under a number of different pseudonyms, including Gabriel Barclay, Levi Crow, Gans T. Field, Hampton Wells, and Wade Wells. He once estimated his output of stories and articles at about 500, of which about 80 were in the fantasy &amp; science fiction genres.<\/p>\n<h4>Manly Wade Wellman's Futures Past Editions eBooks<\/h4>\r\n<div class=\"checkout_supplier_description\">\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t    \r\n\t<div class=\"productsgrid checkout\" id=\"productsgrid702\">\r\n    \t<div class=\"productsoptions\">\r\n\t\t\t                <form class=\"productssort\">\r\n                \t                        <label for=\"productsortselect\">Sort By: <\/label>\r\n                        <select class=\"checkout_select2\" name=\"productsortselect\" id=\"productsortselect\" onchange=\"window.location=this.value;\">\r\n                            <option value=\"\">Choose Sorting<\/option>\r\n                            <optgroup label=\"By Price\">\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=price&sort=ASC\">Low to High<\/option>\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=price&sort=DESC\">High to Low<\/option>\r\n                            <\/optgroup>\r\n                            <optgroup label=\"By Title\">\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=title&sort=ASC\">A to Z<\/option>\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=title&sort=DESC\">Z to A<\/option>\r\n                            <\/optgroup>\r\n                            <optgroup label=\"By Date\">\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=modified&sort=DESC\">New to Old<\/option>\r\n                                <option  value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/799&sortby=modified&sort=ASC\">Old to New<\/option>\r\n                            <\/optgroup>\r\n                        <\/select>\r\n                                        \r\n                                    <\/form>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n\t\t<ul class=\"productsgridul\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"productsgriditem productsgriditem-l\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"productimage\">\r\n                    \t                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                            <a  class=\"productimagelink\" rel=\"\"  href=\"https:\/\/futurespasteditions.com\/?p=2649\" target=\"_self\" title=\" THE HAIRY ONES SHALL DANCE [The Judge Pursuivant Trilogy, Book 1] by Manly Wade Wellman\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/futurespasteditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bfi_thumb\/2026\/10\/1_The-Hairy-Ones-Shall-Dance7b-copy-3ctkslhlu8v2ef144930u8.jpg\" style=\"width:150px;
