Fred Davis Chappell (May 28, 1936 – January 4, 2024) was an author and poet.[1] He was an English professor for 40 years (1964–2004) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.[2] He was the Poet Laureate of North Carolina from 1997 to 2002.[3] He attended Duke University.
His 1968 novel Dagon, which was named the Best Foreign Book of the Year by the Académie française, is a recasting of a Cthulhu Mythos horror story as a psychologically realistic Southern Gothic.
His literary awards include the Aiken Taylor Award for Modern American Poetry, the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger, the Bollingen Prize, and the T. S. Eliot Award for Creative Writing.
Fred Chappell died in Greensboro, North Carolina on January 4, 2024, at the age of 87.[4][5]
