Talbot Estus
From Tatters of the King

Talbot Estus is a noted American (Texan) novellist, producing works of what he calls romantic horror or macabre romances (though critics can find little difference between the two).
Talbot's earlier works were popular, but his later works suffer from either lack of originality, or, on the odd occasion they are inventive, excessive peculiarity.

The Revenant King (1928)
