Random #LovecraftCountry thought, but doesn't seem as if Tic (and George, though he has the excuse of being older) have rather old-fashioned reading tastes? The authors they mention - Stoker, Poe, Borroughs, Lovecraft - had all stopped writing, or even died, before Tic was born.
In 1955, Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury, Clarke, and Bester were in their 30s and 40s and well into their writing careers. Some of their iconic work (Stranger in a Strange Land, Rendezvous with Rama) was still ahead of them, but they had been writing short fiction for decades.
If I think of the kind of writing a genre-curious young man like Tic would be interested in, those are the names that come up. And a lot of it would probably be in magazines like Analog, Astounding, Amazing Stories, or Weird Tales, all around since the 1920s and 30s.
