Darlene Kursky

Darlene Kursky was the secretary of Douglas Pabst at Incredible Tales during the 1950s.

Darlene was a fan of science fiction which made her a natural fit for her position and endeared her to the magazine's staff of writers. When Benny Russell submitted Deep Space Nine, his story about a space station, Darlene loved the idea and found one character in particular, a joined alien with a "worm in her belly" to be "interestin', but disgustin'." She told Benny that Deep Space Nine was the best science fiction story that she had read since The Puppet Masters by Robert Heinlein.
