About this author

edit data

Wilum lives in Seattle, WA and writes Cthulhu Mythos fiction full-time, and has many books forthcoming. He is the self-proclaimed "Queen of Eldritch Horror," and has been writing Lovecraftian weird fiction since the early 1970s.

Writing weird fiction is his life, but congestive heart failure has slowed his writing. He considers his finest books to be "Some Unknown Gulf of Night" (Arcane Wisdom Press 2011), "Uncommon Places" (Hippocampus Press 2012) and "The Tangled Muse" (Centipede Press 2011).

Lovecraft scholar and biographer S. T. Joshi has described Pugmire as "the prose-poet of the horror/fantasy field; he may be the best prose-poet we have" and "perhaps the leading Lovecraftian author writing today."
