About the Author
After Fantômas was published in 1911 to wild popularity and success, Pierre Souvestre, an already well-known journalist and novelist, and Marcel Allain, his secretary and writing partner, went on to publish twenty sequels to the original. After Souvestre’s death in 1914, Allain wrote another eleven books in the Fantômas series and launched several other pulp fiction series on his own.
