Dorothy K. Haynes (19181987) was a Scottish novelist, journalist and short story writer who came to specialise in the ghostly and weird tale. Her impressive collection Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch was published in 1949, and she became a regular contributor to the legendary Fontana and Pan horror anthologies in the 1970s.

Craig Lamont is a researcher and editor, and an expert on Dorothy K. Haynes' works and archive. He has spearheaded a revival of Haynes' writing, beginning in 2023 with a new edition of the novel Haste Ye Back published by the Association for Scottish Literature.
