 Arthur Porges (1915) & Irwin Porges (1909-1998)
Arthur Porges has written a plethora of highly imaginative and idiosyncratic stories down the years that have been published in a number of magazines including The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Fantastic Stories of Imagination, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
Michael H. Kean, in his excellent introduction to Three Porges Parodies and a Pastiche (a collection of some of Porges's Sherlockian parodies), describes Arthur Porges as "tall, slender, and with a scholarly demeanor".

 s1ngularity::criticism: 05/16/2004 - 05/22/2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Porges probably won’t be found to have literary value in the artistic sense, but he is full to bursting with an efficient story craft, which is sadly lacking in much of the new fiction.
Porges’ surprises aren’t usually a surprise, but the path to getting to the surprise is still an enjoyable ride--much as you can look at a roller coaster and educatedly guess what you’re in for, but you plunk your money down, anyway, and it’s often worth the time and price of admission.
In this case, “Three” was more or less one of the scenarios in the try-&-discard phase of the puzzle of killing the vampire who is feeding off this guy’s daughter (the age and arrogance of the vampire, however, left him unprepared for advances in science).

 Review: Fantasy & Science Fiction, January 2005
The style takes some getting used to and is occasionally a bit too cute, but the background of a music competition serves as a solid pacing device leading to a nice ending.
"Born Bad" by Arthur Porges: An extremely short shaggy dog story that did nothing for me, in large part because it did next to nothing to set up the ending.
It sputters to an ending that I cared little about, and if the attempt to tie things back to the beginning depended on some subtlety, it was one I missed entirely.

 Night Shade Books Discussion Area: January 2005 issue---contents
Speaking of Porges does anyone know anything about an Arthur Pendragon who contributed 2 vaguely Lovecraftian stories to Fantastic back in the 60's.
They have recently been attributed to Porges but unless he was experimenting or I am completely tone deaf they don't sound like him.
From what measly bit of information that I have been able to gather up for you, Arthur Pendragon was the pseudonym used by (British?) author Arthur Goadby (1867-?), who may or may not have been one of the early forefathers who played a key role in the research and investigation of psychic phenomena.

A collection of mathematically themed short stories, poems, and snippets from various authors, this book actually works you through some of the most difficult subjects in all of mathematics, all (or mostly) under the guise of science fiction stories.
The poems and quotes in one section of the book are not quite as invigorating as the stories by Plato, H. Wells, Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and many, many others, but the book is a perfect excuse to entertain yourself and actually learn something you didn't know in the process!
