Fredric Brown

Writer, Director, Additional Credits
Born October 29, 1906Died March 11, 1972 (65 years)
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction and mystery writer.

He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a somewhat postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", is officially credited for an adaptation as an episode of the American television series Star Trek.
