John Bellairs

John Bellairs (1938-1991) wrote several gothic mystery series for young readers, featuring heroes named Lewis Barnavelt, Johnny Dixon, and Anthony Monday; plus, a fantasy classic titled The Face in the Frost. At this writing I have only read the Lewis Barnavelt books, however. I intend to rectify this oversight in time. One thing that has held me back is confusion about which books are authentically by Bellairs, and which were "ghost-written" by Brad Strickland, using notes left behind by Bellairs at his death. It was only just now that I bothered to wiki the matter, so I can go forward with confidence that I am reading a book that was really written by its purported author. For what it's worth.
