About the author

T. Everett Harré, born Thomas Everett Harré in 1884, was an American author whose books appeared in the early decades of the 20th century. Library and books-record sources identify him as the author of novels including Behold the Woman!, The Eternal Maiden, and Beware After Dark, and they list his lifespan as 1884–1948.

Archival records add a little more texture to his career. The University of Cincinnati describes a substantial manuscript about Theda Bara among his papers, along with letters from Harré, suggesting interests that reached beyond fiction into celebrity writing and journalism. Specialist reference material also credits him with newspaper and magazine work, including time connected with the Philadelphia Press and Hampton's.

Harré is a somewhat elusive figure today, which makes his surviving work especially interesting. His novels show a taste for dramatic plots and unusual settings, and his name still turns up in public-domain catalogs and bibliographic databases that preserve writers from the pulp, popular, and early fantastic traditions.
