Has anyone read any of the Silver John stories by Manly Wade Wellman?
They were a series of dark fantasy and horror stories written in the 1950's and 1960's for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, most of which were collected in a classic anthology entitled Who Fears the Devil? first published by Arkham House. Wellman also wrote several novels featuring the character, but in my opinion the novels were not quite as good as the short stories.
