Rohan O'Grady - William Castle

Rohan O'Grady is the pen name of the Canadian novelist June Skinner (born 23 July 1922).Between 1961 and 1970, Skinner published four novels as O'Grady. Her fifth and final work, The May Spoon, was released in 1981 and credited to A. Carleon (Ann Carleon is the name of Skinner's great-grandmother). Her third, Let's Kill Uncle, was made into a movie of the same name in 1966 by the legendary horror-film producer William Castle.Skinner's books, which are often set in her native British Columbia, are characterized by a strong gothic streak and a tendency to dismiss genre conventions. For example, though she commonly features adolescent protagonists, she subjects them to both emotional intensity and physical violence rarely found in "young adult" novels.
