T. (Theodore) Bruce Yerke (1923–1998) was an American science fiction author and editor. A member of "an extensive network of active enthusiasts,",[1] he was an early and active member of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, serving as its secretary for many years, and recruited Ray Bradbury as a member.[2] With Forrest J Ackerman he edited the Hugo Award-winning fanzine Imagination!.[3] His unfinished biography, Memoirs of a Superfluous Fan provides great insight into the early days of science fiction fandom in Los Angeles.
He also occasionally wrote under the name Carlton J. Fassbinder.[4]
