While his views were somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan he wrote good stories on the supernatural and, paradoxically, the Russian Revolution - which I read as a kid (showing my age here) and helped stir my interest in history and politics. I have fond memories of arguing with the librarian at our local library who thought they were unsuitable books for a young person to read.

Yes! My boyfriend and I read most of his books when we were in our teens in the, wait for it, 1940's. "The Devil Rides Out" was our favourite. We also read Agatha Christie.
