Dennis Yates Wheatley (8 January 1897 – 10 November 1977) was a British writer born in London. His prolific output of stylish thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling authors in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dennis Yates Wheatley was born South London 8th January 1897 the eldest of three children of an upper middle class family, owners of a wine business Wheatley and Son of Mayfair. He was expelled from Dulwich College (which had been attended by another writer, P.G. Wodehouse from 1894-1900), and became an officer cadet at a training ship, HMS Worcester, for the merchant navy.
He took part in the First World War but was chlorine gassed and invalided out as a second lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery after seeing service in Flanders, on the Ypres Salient, and in France at Cambrai and St. Quentin. He took over the family wine making business in 1919; however, following a decline in business after the depression in 1931, he set about writing and remarried his second wife.

Saiu uma bio do Dennis Wheatley: http://bit.ly/5uN1sr. Wheatley é fixe. Acho que o Lovecraft consegue ser ainda mais racista e misógino.
