Linwood Vrooman Carter (June 1930 - February 7, 1988), known as Lin Carter, was an American writer, responsible for Tolkien: A Look Behind The Lord of the Rings (1969) and Middle Earth: The World of Tolkien Illustrated, a collaboration with illustrator David Wenzel.
He wrote very many of his own fantasy and science fiction stories - some set within preexisting imaginary worlds such as that of Oz or Conan the Barbarian, or the expanded mythos of H.P. Lovecraft's universe - as well as poetry.
