Jack Finney was an American novelist and short story writer whose career spanned from the 1940s through the 1990s. He wrote across genres but found his greatest success in science fiction and suspense. His 1955 novel The Body Snatchers, later reissued as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, became a cultural touchstone through its film adaptations and remains one of the most recognized alien invasion stories in American fiction.
Finney also wrote Time and Again in 1970, a time travel novel set in 1880s New York City that earned a devoted readership. He followed it with a sequel, From Time to Time, published in 1995 shortly before his death. Beyond his novels, Finney contributed stories to many anthologies and short fiction collections, and his work appeared in the Pan Book of Horror Stories series across two decades.
