CLARKSON, Helen

CLARKSON, Helen
   Working name of Helen Worrell Clarkson McCloy (1904-1993), most of whose works are detective novels written as Helen McCloy. Her sole sf work, The Last Day: A Novel of the Day After Tomorrow (1959), tellingly describes a nuclear HOLOCAUST from the viewpoint of an isolated woman, whose island retreat proves in the end no refuge against the consequences of final war.
