Robert Bloch isn't *really* a science fiction writer.  He primarily writes
horror or mystery/suspense.  But since he has been involved with SF
fandom for 65 years (first as a correspondent with H. P. Lovecraft), he's
been given the status of honorary SF pro.  And he does write some Fantasy
or humorous Science Fiction story.  His 1959 Hugo was for the story
"That Hell-Bound Train", one of the few Hugos for a straight fantasy. 
And his most famous work isn't SF at all.  It's "Psycho", the novel that
Alfred Hitchcock used for his famous movie.  I've purposefully omitted
his works that contain no fantastic elements.  "The Best of Robert Bloch"
is a good selection of his SF-ish short stories.
