Dubbed ‘the founder of dark fantasy’, Minneapolis-born Gertrude Barrows Bennett (1884–1948), writing as Francis Stevens, influenced H.P. Lovecraft and has been ranked alongside Mary Shelley. Her pioneering novels include the lost world story The Citadel of Fear (1918), the dystopian The Heads of Cerberus (1919) and the atmospheric Claimed (1920).
