Alfred Elton van Vogt (26 April1912 – 26 January2000) was a Canadian-born science fiction author who was one of the most prolific and complex[citation needed] writers of the mid-twentieth century "Golden Age" of the genre.
Science Fiction's Golden Age
Born on a farm in Edenburg, a Russian Mennonite community east of Gretna, Manitoba, Canada, van Vogt is[citation needed] one of the most popular and highly esteemed writers of the Golden Age of Science Fiction.
After starting his writing career by writing for 'true confession' style pulp magazines like True Story, van Vogt decided to switch to writing something he enjoyed, science fiction.
Van Vogt's first published SF story, "Black Destroyer" (Astounding Science Fiction, July 1939), was inspired by On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin.
The story depicted a fierce, carnivorous alien stalking the crew of an exploration spaceship.
