Julius Long (1907–1955)

Julius Long, who wrote in the first half of the last century, appears to have written only one story of note and this is it. It appeared in 'Weird Tales' in 1934 and is rather good.

Although not fully up to the standards to be set atmospherically by other writers of unease, it is well within the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe with a previous century feel about it. It personifies death in a new and imaginative way that captures its remorselessness for the terminally ill.
