Hal Bennett

Hal Bennett, born George Harold 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 . 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.
