Henry Kuttner

Born in Los Angeles in 1915, Henry Kuttner became one of the most versatile voices in twentieth-century speculative fiction. He wrote fantasy, horror, and science fiction, publishing in popular pulp magazines and building a reputation for lively ideas, atmosphere, and wit.

Much of his work was created in collaboration with his wife, the writer C. L. Moore. Together they published stories under several bylines, and their partnership became one of the best-known creative teams in genre fiction.

Kuttner died in 1958 at the age of 42, but his fiction continued to be read and reprinted long afterward. Readers often know him for both darker supernatural tales and clever, energetic science-fiction stories, which show just how wide his range was.
