Seabury Quinn was a lawyer specializing in mortuary jurisprudence. He taught this subject at mortuary schools for many years, and for some 15 years was the editor of Casket & Sunnyside, a leading trade journal.
In addition to his prolific writing, Quinn spent many years in military intelligence during and after World War II. His knowledge of death-rites, strange phenomena, arcane religions and macabre practices, the occult and black arts around the world would have filled several books.
