Who This Author Is

Barbara Smith has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 27 catalog-linked books across 1983 to 2023, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Horror & Supernatural.

Best for readers who want quick tension, supernatural hooks, and paperback-series energy. If you want the easiest first click, start with Ghost Stories of Washington (Ghost Stories (Lone Pine)) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1983 to 2023; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Lone Pine Pub and Ghost House Books.
