This is an ISFDB Bibliographic Comments page for the author (or artist or editor) Dorothy Daniels. This page may be used for bibliographic comments or extended notes about the author, or discussion on how to the author's works are to be recorded . The link above leads to the ISFDB summary record for Dorothy Daniels. Please use Bio:Dorothy Daniels for a biographical sketch of this person. To discuss what should go on this page, use the talk page. For more on this and other header templates, see Header templates.


Several of Daniels books have "apparent" supernatural elements in them, e.g. ghosts, elves, etc. Generally, once the mystery is solved, we discover that these supernatural elements were, in fact, natural phenomena. Nevertheless, the ISFDB includes such books within their scope. Other books by Daniels are "Gothic Novels" but do not include such apparent supernatural elements, and such books are not included within the scope of the ISFDB.

Daniels wrote more than 150 books, at least 114 of which are "Gothic novels", so this bibliographical page of hers is expected to be incomplete. A tentative placement of her books into three categories, based on data from Reginald3 and (too heavily) based on the publisher's descriptions of the books, is as follows:
