Jerry Sohl (2 December 1913 – 4 November 2002; age 88) was a science fiction prose writer. For television, he first ghost-wrote episodes of The Twilight Zone for Charles Beaumont, who was suffering from Alzheimers. He used the pseudonym of Nathan Butler for his credit on TOS: "This Side of Paradise" because he was displeased with D.C. Fontana's rewrite of his original script.
