Dorothy K. Haynes (1918–1987) was a well-known author of horror fiction. Dr Craig Lamont discusses editing HASTE YE BACK, Haynes’s #memoir of her childhood years in Aberlour Orphanage. An orphanage, in north-east Scotland, during the Great Depression, sounds like the setting for something grim – yet Haynes shows how an orphanage can also be a home, & a happy one too.
