Michael Zuroy

Born in New York on May 2, 1918, and dying in Rutland, Vermont, on September 12, 2007, Michael Zuroy was an American writer best known for short crime and suspense fiction.

Reliable catalog and reference sources connect his name with mystery magazines and anthologies, including work preserved by Project Gutenberg and listings tied to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine materials. Some later reader and library sources also associate him with science fiction, suggesting he wrote across genre lines rather than staying in just one lane.

He is not a widely documented public figure, so the surviving picture is modest but appealing: a working magazine-era author whose stories kept circulating through anthologies, archives, and reprints long after their first publication.
