Henry Kuttner (7th April 1915 – 4th February 1958) was the author of many sci-fi and fantasy short stories in The ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. He was one of the “Lovecraft Circle”, and contributed a number of elements to the Cthulhu Mythos.

Some of Kuttner and Moore’s works have been adapted for film. Their short story “The Twonky” was filmed in 1953, while “Mimsy Were the Borogoves” was adapted into “The Last Mimzy” in 2007. Their “What You Need” was adapted as an episode of The Twilight Zone. Kutter’s “The Graveyard Rats” was adapted as a segment of Trilogy of Terror II and an episode of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

Kuttner is not as well known as many of his contemporaries, mostly due to his death at the relatively young age of 42.
