Author Description <b>Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire</b> (born William Harry Pugmire, 1951–2019) was a writer of weird fiction and horror fiction based in Seattle, Washington. His works typically were published as <b>W.H. Pugmire</b> (his adopted middle name derives from the story of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe) and his fiction often paid homage to the lore of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/lovecraftian" rel="nofollow noopener">Lovecraftian horror.</a> Lovecraft scholar and biographer S.T. Joshi described Pugmire as <i>"the prose-poet of the horror/fantasy field; he may be the best prose-poet we have"</i> and as one of the genre's leading Lovecraftian authors.<br /><br />Wilum lived in Seattle, WA and wrote Cthulhu Mythos fiction full-time. He was the self-proclaimed "Queen of Eldritch Horror". Writing weird fiction was his life, but congestive heart failure slowed his writing. He considered his finest books to be <i>Some Unknown Gulf of Night</i> (Arcane Wisdom Press 2011), <i>Uncommon Places</i> (Hippocampus Press 2012) and <i>The Tangled Muse</i> (Centipede Press 2011).<br /><br />
