Alfred Elton van Vogt nació en una granja de Edenburg, una comunidad menonita rusa al este de Gretna, Manitoba. Al principio de su carrera escribió para revistas *pulp* de confesiones como *True Story*, pero a finales de la década de 1930 comenzó a escribir ciencia ficción, género por el que sentía mayor interés.
