(1929-    ) US author whose nonfantastic (but exorbitant) Black Plume: The Suppressed Memoirs of Edgar Allan Poe (1980) offers inter alia some illuminating analysis of the laboriously tortured psyche of a central early figure in the creation of American sf (see Edgar Allan Poe). Of direct sf interest is U.S.S.A. (1989), a noir tale featuring an ex-CIA agent investigating an explosive murder in occupied Russia after America has won World War Three. This author should not be confused with "David Madsen", the unrevealed pseudonym of a UK author whose titles include Memoirs of a Gnostic Dwarf (1995) and other fantasies. [JC]
