About the author
Born in Fowler, California, in 1898, E. Hoffmann Price grew up to become one of the most durable and wide-ranging writers of the pulp-magazine era. He served in the U.S. military, graduated from West Point in 1923, and began publishing fiction in the 1920s.
Price wrote hundreds of stories in many genres, including weird fiction, fantasy, science fiction, adventure, crime, and westerns. He liked to call himself a "fictioneer," which suits the speed, variety, and sheer productivity of his career. His work appeared in popular pulp magazines, and readers often note the vivid sense of atmosphere and action in his stories.
He is especially well known today for his association with H. P. Lovecraft, including their collaboration on "Through the Gates of the Silver Key." Price kept writing for decades and remained an important link to the classic pulp tradition until his death in 1988.
