Duane W. Rimel

Duane W. Rimel is an American science fiction, fantasy and erotica writer most well known for his collaborations with American horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Lovecraft was a close friend who mentored him in his early writings as early as 1934. The following year, Rimel collaborated with writer Emil Petaja to create The Fantaisiste's Mirror a fan magazine to continue the serialization of Lovecraft's essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature" where the magazine Fantasy Fan left off. However, the magazine never made it to print.

He was also co-editor (with Francis T. Laney) of the early fanzine The Acolyte (1942-1946) which published several notable Lovecraft pieces including the first glossary of the Cthulhu Mythos.

He went on to write numerous other fantasy, science fiction and detective stories.
