Editing Frank Belknap Long (section)

=== 1960s===

After the decline of the pulps, Long moved into the prolific production of  science fiction and [[gothic romance]] novels during the 1960s and 1970s. He even wrote a ''[[Man from UNCLE]]'' story, "The Electronic Frankenstein Affair",  which appeared under the pen name Robert Hart Davis in the ''Man from UNCLE Magazine''.

In 1960, he married Lyda Arco, an artists' representative and aficionado of drama. She was a Russian descended from a line of actors in the Yiddish theatre who ran a salon in Chelsea, NY. They stayed together till Long's death in 1994, but had no children. Long described himself as an "agnostic." Referring to Lovecraft, Long wrote that he "always shared HPL's skepticism . . . concerning the entire range of alleged supernatural occurrences and what is commonly defined as 'the occult.'"

In 1963 Arkham House published Long's novel'' [[The Horror from the Hills]]'', a work partly incorporating Lovecraft's account of a dream Lovecraft had experienced. This work introduced Long's alien entity [[Chaugnar Faugn]] into the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] cycle.
