  William Evans Burton was born in London on the 24th September 1804.  
   
  Initially set for a career in the church he attended St. Paul's School in London. At 18, after the death of his father, he took charge of the family printing concern.  He established a monthly magazine, which although a failure, brought him several theatrical acquaintances which then lured him towards the stage. 
   
  For several years he acted in low comedies around the provinces before debuting, to good notices, in London.  In 1833 his own play ‘Ellen Wareham’, was, somewhat unusually put on at five different theatres on the same evening.  
   
  In 1834 his marriage of 10 years failed and he decided to relocate, by himself, to America.  He soon leased a theatre, which he renamed ‘Burton’s Theatre’, in New York.   
   
  Three years later he established, with Edgar Allan Poe as its editor, the Gentleman’s Magazine in Philadelphia and wrote one of the earliest detective stories for it; ‘The Secret Cell’. 
   
  He and Poe had a difficult relationship, added to which Burton was frequently away in acting roles in other cities.  By 1840 he had fired Poe and then sold the magazine to finance renovation work on his theatre, which some time later failed.  Burton spend much of his remaining years editing magazines and writing books. 
   
  William E Burton died on the 10th February 1860 in New York City.  
   
  He left his fortune, among which was a library of over 100,000 books, to charity.  His separated wife from decades earlier challenged the will and created legal history in eventually gaining ownership of the estate.

  Lake Tahoe, 1988. Jackson Taylor's inner torment never dies. After losing his wife and kids in a car accident, the former MLB pitcher-turned-chef purchases a lovely new home at a steal, while shrugging off its terrible history of a murder-suicide. But he soon realizes he's not alone when he hears a child's laughter echoing from behind a closed door. 
  Skeptical about the supernatural despite finding multiple cryptic messages, Jackson visits the local library to research clues tied to the property. When the charming librarian helps him unearth chilling details of its past, he's more determined than ever to unravel the truth. 
  Can Jackson expose the horror hidden within the haunted halls and find his own peace? 
  An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews 
  Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review 
  5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub
