Hugh B. Cave

Hugh B. Cave (11 July 1910 – 27 June 2004) was a prolific American writer of pulp fiction, best remembered for his horror and science fiction stories, but also writing in the Western, crime, romance, and other genres. He wrote and published at least 800 stories in such outlets as Weird Tales, Astounding, and Black Mask. 
His Cthulhu Mythos fiction includes "The Isle of Dark Magic" and "The Death Watch". Though he corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft (the letters do not survive), the two never met, despite both living in Rhode Island in the 1930s. (Cave lived in Pawtuxet,) Lovecraft complained in a letter to Robert H. Barlow that Cave "uses our own evil pantheon in a way which plays the deuce with the 'style-sheet.'"A Look Behind the Derleth Mythos, John D. Haefele 
Cave also had a long correspondence with weird fiction writer Carl Richard Jacobi.
