Nictzin Dyalhis is the most fascinating and mysterious of all the Weird Tales writers. He wrote 16 works and nothing else, and very little of his biography is known even to dedicated researchers. Though they were able to confirm one detail: Nictzin Dyalhis is his real name. He is of Welsh origin, and his first name comes from the fact his father was obsessed with Aztec culture. The Sea Witch is his best known story, and despite the name and the horror trappings and atmosphere, it actually is a romance novel with a happy ending. It’s basically his attempt to rewrite H. Rider Haggard’s She so that Horace Holly and She get together. -- source link
