Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972[1]) was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer.[2] He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted to a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
