Sam Gafford

Sam Gafford (1962 - 20 July 2019) was an American author, editor and occasional artist who specialised in the horror, non-fiction and weird fiction genres. Much of Gafford's work focused on William Hope Hodgson's occult detective Thomas Carnacki.
In 1982, a 20-year-old Gafford was invited to Providence, Rhode Island by leading H. P. Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi, where he joined the informal group of Lovecraft enthusiasts the Providence Pals. In 2015, he would publish a collection of their works titled Providence Pals: Memories and Miscellany.
Gafford was also the founder of the independent publishing house Ulthar Press; following his death in 2019, the press is no longer active.
