Clarence Louis Cullen was an early-20th-century writer whose work remains available through collections such as Project Gutenberg, Open Library, and the Library of Congress. Confirmed titles include Taking Chances (1900) and The Eddy: A Novel of To-day (1910), along with Tales of the Ex-Tanks and More Ex-tank Tales.
His fiction suggests an interest in hard-luck stories, urban life, and character-driven drama. Some film databases also credit a Clarence L. Cullen as a writer connected with The Policeman and the Baby, and list his death as June 29, 1921, in Deal Beach, New Jersey, though the date shown in library catalogs sometimes appears as 1922.
Reliable biographical detail beyond his publications is scarce, so much of his life remains hard to pin down. What is clear is that his books survived well enough to be preserved, digitized, and rediscovered by modern readers.
