Edited by Montague Summers (1880-1948), who was ordained a deacon in the Church of England, but converted to Catholicism, although never officially holding office in the church. He pursued a career of teaching and literary scholarship, publishing on occult subjects and witchcraft and editing works of Gothic fiction like this title.
