BIOGRAPHY:

JOHN HAYDEN HOWARD (1925-2014) was a 1967 Nebula Award finalist and prolific short story writer who often wrote under his pen name, Hayden Howard. He was published 73 times, including internationally in the US, UK, and Australia, with some works translated into Italian and French.

Hayden’s dystopian and science fiction was published often in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, IF Worlds of Science Fiction, and numerous other magazines. Hayden was also published in a paperback anthology edited by Isaac Asimov and the hardcover Best of SF: 1970. He is listed in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. In addition to sci-fi, he also had published many detective stories, sea stories, and mysteries, including in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

Hayden Howard’s stories are reminiscent of the1950s television show The Twilight Zone(R), as many of Hayden’s short stories have similar thought-provoking surprise endings.

In real life, family and friends knew Hayden simply as “Jack.”
