Thomas Tryon

Just wanted to mention Thomas Tryon. He wrote two of my favorite horror stories: The Other and Harvest Home. Does anyone know if there were any other good horror stories he wrote?

Unfortunately not. I got tempted into looking into his other books after reading those two. He wrote the short story that Billy Wilder turned into Fedora. It was almost a sequel to Sunset Boulevard. Halfway interesting but not in the same league as earlier works. Then I read Night Magic, which convinced me not to look into his bibliography any further.
