Wallace West (1900–1980) was an American science fiction writer. He began publishing in 1927 with the story "Loup-Garou" in Weird Tales. The majority of West's work, which appeared prior to the 1960s, was
short fiction, although he occasionally did turn his hand to writing
novels. His novels, mostly published after World War II, were mostly re-workings of his pre-war short fiction.
