C. A. Butz

C. A. Butz is an obscure American author associated with the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales. Confirmed surviving records are sparse, but works attributed to him include "Dream Sepulture" and "Swamp Demons," both published in Weird Tales in 1936.

Because so little biographical information is readily documented, he is known today mainly through the stories themselves rather than through a well-established personal history. His fiction belongs to the strange, suspenseful tradition that helped define the magazine’s blend of horror, fantasy, and adventure.

That air of mystery is part of the appeal: Butz remains one of those half-forgotten magazine writers whose work offers a direct glimpse into the imaginative world of 1930s pulp storytelling.
