The first, Dracutwig (1969), was a novel written under the pen name Mallory T. With all of his attention on the supernatural, which included significant emphasis on vampires, Hurwood also wrote four books primarily on vampires. Along the way, he wrote Passport to the Supernatural, a popular book for adults on supernatural themes (i.e., ghosts, vampires, and werewolves) as they have been experienced around the world. Most of these are juvenile volumes, and some, such as Vampires, Werewolves and Other Demons, featured true stories to introduce the younger audience to classic reports of vampirism and lycanthropy. In 1965 he published his first collection of supernatural stories, Monsters Galore, which was followed by Monsters and Nightmares (1967), Vampires, Werewolves and Ghouls (1968), Ghosts, Ghouls and Other Horrors (1971), Haunted Houses (1972), Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Demons (1972), Chilling Ghost Stories (1973), and Eerie Tales of Terror and Dread (1973). While his literary career covered many subjects, two topics dominated his writing-sex and the supernatural.

Hurwood’s first book, Terror by Night, was published in 1963. He held a variety of jobs through the 1950s but emerged in 1962 as a fulltime writer.
