Who is she?
Have I even spelled the name right?
People have been posting on Facebook recently about this author of supernatural fiction, but there appears to be no information on her online anywhere anyone can find.
Apparently, she wrote for 28 years & committed suicide in the 20s.

Is there any chance that she either works in kitchen planning, or uses that industry asa backdrop for her stories? (No, I've never heard of her either.....) |

Stephen King & Whitley Streiber both talk about her during this panel from a 1983 horror convention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYqK4gIq5SwApparently, so I just found out, it was a hoax perpetrated by the panelists. She doesn't exist.  |

That might also explain why Donna Taylor Burgess dropped the Taylor.

This is unfortunately a hoax as explained below: Alejandro Omidsalar said... Just in case anyone missed it on the YouTube page, I found a pertinent comment: "One important note on this video: I was intrigued by the repeated mentions of Angela Taylor Burgess (cited by Strieber and King as one of the great horror authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries). I contacted Strieber about this, as I could find no information about her at all (after searching through every nook and cranny of the Internet). Strieber admitted that this was an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the panel. In an email communication with me, he states: 'As I recall this was a prank played by the panel. I was elected to lead it off. The author doesn't exist.' Just wanted to make this clear, so no one else goes on a similar wild goose chase." Just FYI, fellow horror fans.
