Linwood Vrooman Carter as an American author of science fiction and fantasy, as well as an editor and critic. He usually wrote as Lin Carter; known pseudonyms include H. P. Lowcraft (for an H. P. Lovecraft parody) and Grail Undwin.
A longtime sf and fantasy fan, Carter first appeared on the scene with his entertaining letters in Startling Stories in the late 1940s. He did not break into professional print until 1957 with a Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction story, though he had earlier issued two volumes of fantasy verse, Sandalwood and Jade (1951) (technically his first book) and Galleon of Dream (1955).
As a fiction writer most of Carter's work was derivative in the sense that it was consciously imitative of the themes, subjects and styles of other authors he admired. He was quite explicit in regard to his models, usually identifying them in the introductions or afterwords of his novels, and introductory notes to self-anthologized or collected short stories.
