Horacio Quiroga (December 31, 1878, Salto, Uruguay – February 19, 1937, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was a Uruguayan author of short stories. He wrote stories which, in their use of the supernatural and the bizarre, look backward to Edgar Allan Poe, but also look forward to the magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Horacio+Quiroga">Read more on Last.fm</a>

The jungle settings of his stories emphasized the conflict between humans and nature. His portrayals of mental illness and hallucinatory states were influenced by Edgar Allan Poe. In turn, Quiroga influenced Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar.
