About the author

George Harold "Hal" Bennett (1936 – 2004),[1][2] was an author known for a variety of books. His 1974 novel Lord of Dark Places was described as "a satirical and all but scatological attack on the phallic myth",[3] and was reprinted in 1997. He was Playboy's most promising writer of the year [1]. He has also written under the pen names Harriet Janeway and John D. Revere (the Assassin series). His books are sometimes compared to Mark Twain's style of satire, but contain a much stronger sexual tone.

Reviews

[Ryan Grinas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hal Bennett possesses a powerful ability to create a dynamic and multi-layered story that inspires horror, shock and disgust with wretched and morally bankrupt characters.
Why is Seventh Heaven so compelling then? Bennett discards conventional storytelling to tell his uniquely own take on horror. His world of Burnside is filled with insane denizens that pull you into their mad house and don’t let go until after you’ve finished reading the novel.
Leave your sanity at the door and enter the hell that is Burnside, well worth reading!
