		Frank Belknap Long was born in New York City in 1901, and grew up in the Harlem area of Manhattan.

	Frank Belknap Long, Jr.
		Long’s transition from the weird tale to the scientifiction (stf) story came about, and his style changed with the availability of potential markets; as the stf magazines gradually began to dominate the newsstands and racks of candy-stores, stories of this nature began to take over the bulk of Long’s literary work.
		What Long attested to was that the aforementioned technological advances had little to do with the stories themselves, and he maintained a sense of both cosmicism and romanticism in regard to plight of the human being in the universe throughout his entire body of work.
		Frank Belknap Long was unjustly given low payment for his work, spurned by the masses who saw him as a hack pulp writer, and remembered most for his association with H.P. Lovecraft.

	Hounds of Tindalos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The being is the creation of Frank Belknap Long and first appeared in his short story "The Hounds of Tindalos" (1931).
		Their appearance is unknown because no characters who meet them survive long enough to give a description.
		Though the Hounds are sometimes pictured as canine, probably because of the evocative name of the first story in which they appeared, it is not likely that they appear as such.

		Amongst those he encouraged, inspired, and influenced, were Robert Bloch, Fritz Leiber, Frank Belknap Long, and August Derleth.
		As with the previous two authors, Lovecraft encouraged the young Long to write, and in fact helped to get several of Long's first stories published in Weird Tales, a fact Long himself acknowledges, saying "[Lovecraft]...insisted that the stories had been judged and accepted with objective impartiality.
		But I knew better." Long's contributions to the ever-growing Mythos included such stories as "The Hounds of Tindalos" and "The Space Eaters," the latter story having been called by Gahan Wilson "perhaps the best evocation of that particular horror of indifferent cosmic violation.
