1918–2011
A mid-20th-century science fiction writer whose surviving work has a distinctly pulpy, imaginative feel, with stories that appeared in popular genre magazines of the 1950s. Very little biographical information is widely documented, which gives his small body of fiction an added air of mystery.

About the author
John Bernard Daley was an American author born in 1918 and died in 2011. The basic dates of his life are consistently listed in bibliographic records, but detailed public information about his personal life appears to be scarce.
He is remembered mainly for a handful of science fiction stories, including The Man Who Liked Lions and Wings of the Phoenix. His work is associated with the magazine science fiction world of the 1950s, and modern reprints have helped keep those stories available to new readers.
Because so little else is firmly documented in the sources easily available online, Daley stands out as one of those writers known more through the strange charm of the fiction itself than through a well-recorded public biography.
