Ronald Henry Glynn Chetwynd-Hayes aka Angus Campbell.

Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes was an author, best known for his ghost stories. His first published work was the science fiction novel The Man From The Bomb in 1959. He went on to publish many collections and ten other novels including The Grange, The Haunted Grange, And Love Survived and The Curse of the Snake God. He also edited over 20 anthologies. Several of his short works were adapted into anthology style movies in the United Kingdom, including The Monster Club and From Beyond the Grave. Chetwynd-Hayes' book The Monster Club contains references to a film-maker called Vinke Rocnnor, an anagram of Kevin Connor, the director of From Beyond the Grave.

I picked this book up in the basement of a used bookstore. It’s a very good anthology full of interesting and unique stories. I’m definitely going to hold onto this book. I’m not going to go into detail about the stories because there’s a lot, but my two favorites were Don’t Go Up Them Stairs (silly and funny in a morbid way) and The House (heartbreakingly beautiful).
