Eugene Thwing (1873-1940) was an American editor and anthologist best known for his work compiling the World's Best literary series for Funk & Wagnalls. Through these collections - spanning detective, mystery, and adventure fiction - Thwing helped preserve and popularize early genre writing from both sides of the Atlantic, bridging popular magazine fiction and emerging literary recognition of detective storytelling.
