| Writer, born in Shooters Hill, Kent, SE England, UK. He studied at Edinburgh University before working his way through Canada and the USA, as related in his Episodes before Thirty (1923). His best-known novels are The Centaur (1911) and Julius Le Vallon (1916). His works reflect his taste for the supernatural and the occult, seen especially in his books of short stories, such as John Silence (1908), Tongues of Fire (1924), and Tales of the Uncanny and Supernatural (1949). |
