Frank Belknap Long (1901–1994) was a close friend and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft and an early contributor to the Cthulhu Mythos, with stories like 'The Hounds of Tindalos'. Over an unusually long career he ranged across weird fiction, horror, science fiction and poetry, bridging the pulp era and the modern genre. He was honoured late in life for his lifetime contribution to fantasy.
