Frank Lucius Packard (February 2, 1877 - February 17, 1942) was a Canadian novelist.

Excerpt
He was a misshapen thing, bulking a black blotch in the night at the entrance of the dark alleyway—like some lurking creature in its lair. He neither stood, nor kneeled, nor sat—no single word would describe his posture—he combined all three in a sort of repulsive, formless heap.
