Three of his best-known novels are Uncle Silas, Carmilla and The House by the Churchyard.
Michael Cox (1948-2009) was a former editor at Oxford University Press and biographer of the ghost story writer M.R. James.

His first novel, The Meaning of Night, was shortlisted for the 2007 Costa First Novel Award.
