Howard Elmer Wandrei (24 September 1909 – 5 September 1956)[1] was an American artist and writer. He wrote over 200 stories that appeared in the magazines Weird Tales, Astounding, Esquire, Black Mask, and others. Wandrei wrote under his own name and the pseudonyms Robert Coley and H.W. Guernsey.
Wandrei is best remembered for his illustrations, many of which were included in the books of his brother, Donald Wandrei.[2]
In the 1990's, Arkham House, the publishing house co-founded by Donald Wandrei, announced that they would publish several collections of his stories.[3] Fedogan & Bremer has since published several collections of Wandrei's stories using some of the same titles as the proposed Arkham House publications.
