Anderson Horne

Very little confirmed biographical information about this author is readily available from reliable public sources. What can be confirmed is that Anderson Horne is credited as the author of The Day of the Dog, a science fiction novella that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and other library-style catalog sites.

The story first appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in August 1958, placing Horne among the many mid-century magazine writers whose work survives more clearly than their personal history. That makes him a somewhat mysterious figure today, but also part of the rich world of pulp-era science fiction, where even a single memorable tale could earn a lasting place in genre archives.

Because trustworthy biographical details are scarce, it is best to think of Horne as an elusive magazine-era author whose known legacy rests on one preserved and still-readable science fiction adventure.
