KAYE, Marvin (Nathan)

(1938-)

   US writer, usually of fantasy and horror, noted here primarily for the Masters of Solitude sf sequence: The Masters of Solitude (1978) and Wintermind (1984), both written with Parke GODWIN (whom see for details). The supernatural novel A Cold Blue Light (1983), also with Godwin, is less successful; and its sequel, Ghosts of Night and Morning(1987), by MK alone, is neither sf nor supernatural. Early in his career, MK wrote some stories with Brother Theodore (Theodore Gottlieb, long thought to be an MK pseudonym).
