Homer Eon Flint

Born as Homer Eon Flindt, he was an American writer of pulp science fiction and fantasy, active in the 1910s and early 1920s. Sources agree that he also worked in silent-film writing early in his career, and that much of his fiction appeared in Frank A. Munsey magazines. His stories include "The Planeteer," "The Lord of Death and the Queen of Life," and "The Nth Man."

He is most closely associated with The Blind Spot (1921), a collaboration with Austin Hall that follows a mysterious passage between worlds. The novel has remained his best-known work and is still remembered as an early landmark of imaginative magazine-era speculative fiction.

Flint died in 1924 while still young, which left his career unusually brief and added a note of mystery to his legacy. Even with a small body of work, he is often remembered as one of the more inventive voices from science fiction's pulp beginnings.
