Fred Merrick White, better known by his pen name Fred M. White, was born in 1859 in West Bromwich, United Kingdom, and died in 1935 in Barnstaple, United Kingdom. He was an English writer who became well-known for his novels and short stories, particularly in the genres of mystery, crime, and science fiction. White wrote prolifically during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with one of his most notable contributions being the "Doom of London" series. This collection of six science-fiction stories imagines a series of catastrophic events that devastate London, a theme that resonated with the growing anxieties of the time about industrialization and modern life. Throughout his career, Fred M. White also wrote detective stories, with works like The Mystery of the Four Fingers becoming significant examples of early mystery fiction. His storytelling style was marked by complex plots, twists, and the exploration of human nature under pressure. Although he did not achieve the widespread fame of some of his contemporaries, his work had a lasting impact on the genres he explored. His parents, whose names are not widely documented, supported his literary pursuits, allowing him to focus on his writing.
