Hal Bennett, born George Harold Bennett (1936 – 2004),[1][2] was an author known for a variety of books. His most famous novel is probably Lord of Dark Places, which has recently[when?] been reprinted. He has won the 1973 William Faulkner Award, as well as 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.
