1. 개요
미국의 소설가. 뉴욕에서 태어났으며 뉴욕 대학교를 졸업했다.2. 상세
대표적인 러브크래프티안 작가들 중 한 명으로, 대표적인 작품으로는 그 유명한 틴달로스의 사냥개와 우주를 먹는 자(The Space Eater)로, 작품 자체로 볼 때는 틴달로스의 사냥개는 오히려 미숙하고 우주를 먹는 자가 더 뛰어나지만, 어쩐지 아는 사람이 거의 없다(...). 참고로 우주를 먹는 자는 아무리 봐도 러브크래프트를 모델로 한 하워드란 인물이 나와 그의 작품에 나올 법한 괴물들과 만난다. 사실상 패러디 작품이라 보면 은근히 웃기다. 특히 하워드가 괴기 소설에 대한 장광성을 늘어놓는다거나, 괴이한 사건을 맞이하고 조언을 묻는 인물에게 열폭해서 자신은 고심해가며 새로운 공포를 찾는데 이 인간은 그냥 운좋게 공포를 마주쳤다며 방방 뛴다(...). 그만큼 러브크래프트와 절친이었다고 볼 수 있다.하워드 필립스 러브크래프트와 특별한 우정을 가지기도 했는데, 러브크래프트는 프랭크를 친구이자 멘토로 삼았다고 한다. 러브크래프트 본인도 롱을 매우 높게 평가했다.
