Born in New York City, Frank Belknap Long was an American writer, poet, and anthologist whose work ranged across horror, fantasy, science fiction, comics, and nonfiction. Reliable sources agree that he is best known for his short fiction and for his close association with H. P. Lovecraft and the early Cthulhu Mythos tradition.
Long published for many decades and became part of the classic American pulp-magazine world, with stories appearing in venues such as Weird Tales. His fiction often mixed cosmic dread, adventure, and a strong sense of the uncanny, and readers of weird fiction still return to him for stories like The Hounds of Tindalos.
The dates you provided, 1903–1994, match some sources, though other major references list his birth year as 1901. Since sources differ, it is safest to say that he died in 1994 after a long literary career that left a lasting mark on twentieth-century horror and speculative fiction.
