About the author
Born in 1859, Adolphe Danziger De Castro built a career that moved through several worlds, including journalism, law, diplomacy, and fiction. His life was unusually wide-ranging, and that breadth shows in the kinds of stories and subjects associated with his work.
He published fiction under forms of his name including Adolphe Danziger and Adolphe Danziger De Castro. Today, readers are most likely to encounter him through The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter, associated with Ambrose Bierce and Richard Voss, and The Last Test, a work later linked with H. P. Lovecraft.
De Castro lived a very long life, dying in 1959 at the age of 100. That century-spanning career gives his work a distinctive place between Victorian-era literary culture and the pulp and magazine world of the early twentieth century.
