Autorenporträt
George Oliver Onions, known professionally as Oliver Onions, was an English writer born on November 13, 1873, in Bradford, United Kingdom. Onions is best remembered for his work in the supernatural genre, particularly his ghost stories. He achieved significant recognition for his collection Widdershins, which features tales of eerie occurresnces and psychological horror. Another of his most famous works is the novella The Beckoning Fair One, widely anthologized for its exploration of haunted spaces and the unsettling effects of isolation. Throughout his career, Onions wrote in a variety of genres, but his supernatural tales, with their atmospheric tension and psychological depth, left a lasting impression on the horror genre. In addition to his writing, Onions was also known for his involvement in the literary world and his collaboration with other authors. He was married to Berta Ruck in 1909, and the couple had two sons, Arthur Oliver and William Richard Oliver. Onions passed away on April 9, 1961, in Aberystwyth, United Kingdom, at the age of 87. His legacy endures, particularly through his contributions to ghost stories and the unsettling, gothic atmosphere he created in his works.
