Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, popularly known as J. S. Le Fanu, was an Irish writer of Gothic literature, mystery novels, and horror fiction. Considered by critics to be one of the greatest ghost story writers of the Victorian era, his works were central to the development of the genre during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Lucille Fletcher was an American screenwriter of film, radio and television. Her most notable credits include 1) "The Hitch-Hiker," an original radio play written for Orson Welles, and adapted for The Twilight Zone television series, and 2) "Sorry, Wrong Number," one of the most celebrated plays in the history of American radio, which she adapted and expanded for the 1948 film noir classic of the same name.

Columbia Workshop was a radio series that aired on the Columbia Broadcasting System from 1936 to 1943, and returning in 1946–47. Over its run, the program was directed by Irving Reis, William N. Robson, and Norman Corwin.
