About the author

Frank Quattrocchi was an American science fiction writer active in the 1950s. Records from Project Gutenberg, archival collections, and science fiction bibliographies show that he published stories such as Sea Legs, Assignment in the Unknown, Brother, Gramp and His Dog, Kids' Game, and The Sword.

His fiction appeared in well-known genre magazines including Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy, and If. Archival material at the American Heritage Center also identifies him as the writer behind manuscripts connected to He Had a Big Heart and The Projected Man, showing that his work extended beyond magazine fiction.

Quattrocchi is also credited as one of the writers of the 1966 British science fiction film The Projected Man. Even though biographical details about his life are hard to confirm, his surviving stories and screen credit give a clear picture of a writer who was part of the energetic postwar science fiction scene.
