Eleanor Marie Ingram was an early 20th century novelist and short-story writer from New York who published widely in popular fiction magazines. She was particularly known in her own day for her automobile stories, including her novels The Flying Mercury, Stanton Wins, and From the Car Behind. Her most famous novel is The Thing From the Lake, published posthumously, which is considered an early entry in the genre of eldritch horror.
“I have thought of it often. Every one else that I know just lives the way things happen--there are only a few people who grasp things and make them happen. That is real work; so many of us are just given work we do not want.””
“If to see with the sight of another is hypnotism, then every man who writes a book or tells a good tale is a hypnotist; every historian who makes us see the past is a necromancer.””
