Edward Page Mitchell (b. Bath, Maine, March 24, 1852 - d. New London, Connecticut, 1927) was an American editorial and short story writer for the New York Sun, a daily newspaper. He became that newspaper's editor in 1875, succeeding Charles Anderson Dana. Mitchell retired in 1926, a year before dying of a cerebral hemorrhage. His short stories would now be considered to be part of the science fiction genre. Mitchell's "The Clock That Went Backward" (1881) was published seven years before H. G. Wells' The Time Machine. Perhaps Mitchell's best known story is "The Tachypomp".
