سلامت علی مہدی ایک زود نویس قلمکار تھے اور بیسویں صدی کی چھٹی اور ساتویں دہائی کی اردو دنیا میں ان کے قلم کا توتی بولتا تھا۔ جب وہ ادارۂ شمع (نئی دہلی) کے نئے رسالے "شبستاں" سے بحیثیت مدیر وابستہ ہوئے تو 'شبستاں' کی خریداری 'شمع' جیسے مقبولِ عام رسالے سے بھی بڑھ گئی تھی۔ اسی طرح جب ادارۂ شمع ہی کے خواتین کے رسالے "بانو" میں ان کے پراسرار اور ہیبت ناک قسط وار ناول مثلاً: ایک بت، ایک بلی، ایک کھوپڑی، ایک روح شائع ہونے لگے تو 'بانو' کی مانگ بھی 'شمع' سے زیادہ بڑھ گئی تھی۔ سلامت علی مہدی کی سلسلہ وار پراسرار کہانی "ایک بت" ماہنامہ 'بانو' کے شمارہ نومبر 1968ء سے نومبر 1969ء تک شائع ہوئی تھی۔ اب یہی ناول کتابی شکل میں تعمیر پبلیکیشنز کی جانب سے پیش خدمت ہے۔
