Russell is best known for his horror fiction, although he also wrote mystery and science fiction stories. His most famous short fiction is "Sardonicus", which appeared in the January 1961 issue of Playboy magazine, and was subsequently adapted by Russell into a screenplay for William Castle's film version, titled Mr. Sardonicus.
