Henry Leverage

1885–1931

A pulp-era storyteller with a life almost as dramatic as his fiction, he wrote fast-moving crime and adventure tales and saw some of his work reach the screen. His background is still a little hazy, which only adds to the intrigue around him.

About the author

Henry Leverage was an English-born American writer remembered for short stories, pulp novels, and early screen work. Reliable sources available here agree that he died in 1931, and film databases credit him on The Twinkler (1916) and Whispering Wires (1926).

Reference pages for his work also connect him with titles such as The Ice Pilot, showing the range of adventure and popular fiction he published. Some online sources describe parts of his life in colorful detail, but they do not fully agree, so it is safest to say that his career sits at the lively intersection of pulp magazines, crime fiction, and early cinema.

No clear, verifiable portrait image was available from the pages I could confirm during this search, so a profile image is not included.
