SULLIVAN, (Edward) Alan

SULLIVAN, (Edward) Alan
(1868-1947)
   Canadian writer who spent much of his adult life in the UK, and who was prolific in various genres, including detective fiction as Sinclair Murray. His fantasies include The Jade God (1924), In the Days oftheir Youth (1926), The Magic Makers (1930), Mr Absalom (1930) and ". . . And from that Day" (1944). Of sf interest is In the Beginning (1927), aLOST-WORLD tale set - as so often in the early 20th century - in the Andes; this one contains ancient species and some Neanderthals (unusually far south). In A Little Way Ahead (1929) an ordinary man, suddenly becoming prescient, makes money on the Stock Exchange, but is doomed by personal flaws.
