description: "Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire, was a writer of weird fiction and horror fiction based in Seattle, Washington. His works typically were published as W. H. Pugmire and his fiction often paid homage to the lore of Lovecraftian horror. Lovecraft scholar and biographer S. T. Joshi described Pugmire as \"the prose-poet of the horror/fantasy field; he may be the best prose-poet we have\" and as one of the genre's leading Lovecraftian authors."
