Mythos

Walter Gilman first appeared in the story The Dreams in the Witch-House (H.P. Lovecraft, 1932).

Walter Gilman is a student of mathematics from Haverhill, Massachusetts. Gilman attended Miskatonic University, spending the last months of his life living in the Witch House in Arkham. Though he displayed brilliance in his chosen field, his professors forced him to cut back on his work due to his nervous temperament. Over the spring of his last year, Gilman became more and more nervous, experiencing strange dreams and bouts of sleepwalking culminating on May-Eve. Ironically enough, his death seems not to have been due to his nervous deterioration, but to a rodent attack.
