Franklin Abel

Very little confirmed biographical information about this writer appears to be available online. The name is attached to Freudian Slip, a science-fiction story published in Galaxy magazine in May 1952 and now available through Project Gutenberg.

Library and bookseller listings suggest a very small published footprint under this name, and I couldn't confirm standard details such as birth dates, nationality, or a broader bibliography from reliable public sources. That scarcity gives Franklin Abel the feel of one of those mid-century pulp-era bylines that survives mainly through a single memorable story.

If you're coming to this author fresh, the best place to start is Freudian Slip—a compact example of 1950s speculative fiction with a playful psychological premise.
