	New Seabury Resort
		Seabury Grandin Quinn (aka Jerome Burke) (1889 - 1969) was a pulp magazine author most famous for his stories of the supernatural detective Jules de Grandin, published in Weird Tales to great success.
		Quinn was a contemporary of Robert E. Howard, H. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith.
		His father, Samuel Seabury (1706-1764), originally a Congregationalist minister in Groton, was ordained deacon and priest in the Church of England in 1731, and was a rector in New London, Connecticut, from 1732 to 1743, and in Hempstead, Long Island, from 1743 until his death.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Compleat Adventures of Jules de Grandin / This I Remember
		Seabury Quinn was born in Washington, D.C. on January 1, 1889.
		Quinn from all accounts was the antithesis of the Lovecraft circle, he was no poor Art for Art's sake, reclusive, psychologically-suspect autodidact -- basically, he had a life: a wife, a son, a number of jobs teaching, editing trade magazines, a degree and an on again-off again law career.
		Besides this, Quinn pushed the limits of sexual propriety with stories having themes or broad hints of incest ("The Jest of Warburg Tantavul"), and lesbian behaviour ("The Poltergeist"), besides the requisite nude scenes to serve as cover fodder.

	Red Jacket Press \| Authors \| Seabury Quinn
		Seabury Grandin Quinn was born in 1889 in Washington D.C., where he grew up and attended law school at the National University (now part of George Washington University), graduating in 1910.
		From 1925 to 1951, Quinn wrote 93 supernatural mysteries starring de Grandin and Trowbridge for Weird Tales, and their popularity at the time far surpassed the work of his contemporaries Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft.
		Quinn moved back to Washington in 1937 to represent a chain of trade magazines, and he spent the duration of World War II working as a government lawyer.

	Night Creatures
		The name of Seabury Quinn (1889—1969) is inextricably linked with the 'unique magazine', Weird Tales, to which he contributed some one hundred and fifty-nine stories and articles, making him that publication's most prolific contributor.
		During his lifetime Quinn read widely in the fields of horror, supernatural, and weird fiction, as well as ranging further afield through books devoted to the occult, mysticism, witchcraft, legends, Satanism, and ancient religious customs.
		Quinn was as concerned with the minds and hearts of his characters as he was with the horrors of their situations; and the result is a collection of stories which is as compassionate and poignant as it is chilling and horrifying.

		This is about as perfect of a “facsimile reproduction” as I could imagine.
		When I removed the book from its impressive box (the book comes in a gift box and includes a pamphlet with the biographies of both Quinn and Virgil Finley, the artist), it was as if I had the original 1948 Arkham House edition in my hands.
		Yellow the pages, add some dust, and you'd have to check the copyright page to verify that the book is a reproduction.

	Roads by Seabury Quinn and illustrated by Virgil Finlay
		Seabury Quinn wrote 'the greatest adult Christmas story written by an American'' according to Sam Moskowitz.
		I have to confess to not really being a Christmassy person but I like the way Quinn brings together the various elements of this story into a cohesive whole around a single character who gets a just reward for a single act of kindness.
		In many respects, this book could be classed as a non-genre book but really it encompasses them all because any reader in the western hemisphere will recognise something in here for them no matter their age.

	Chronologies of Wold Newton Universe Occult Detectives
		After World War II, Quinn wrote a de Grandin story that may have been an effort to atone for the excesses of “Black Moon.” In “Three In Chains,” de Grandin deals with a trio of benevolent ghosts, two whites and one fl, who had been the victims of a New Jersey slave-owner.
		Despite his shortcoming in terms of racial prejudice in the bulk of the de Grandin series, Quinn was always an advocate of religious tolerance in the 1920’s and the 1930’s.
		Although not confirmed by Seabury Quinn, it is possible that de Grandin was connected with Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza’s 1905 mission to investigate charges of cruelty to natives brought against French officials in the Congo.

	Roads by Seabury Quinn - Official sffworld.com review
		First published in a 1938 issue of Weird Tales and subsequently published in hardcover by Arkham House in 1948, Roads by Seabury Quinn (1889-1969) is a novella drawing upon biblical history to create a new biography of Santa Claus.
		Although the birth and death of Jesus are the central events in Roads, one could imagine innumerable ways in which Quinn could have incorporated the history of Europe and its transition from various pagan faiths to Christianity into Claus's story.
		As it is, Quinn creates an enjoyable biography that uses history and tradition as raw material to create a complex, heroic character that would make the average mall Santa quake in his boots.

		In 1908, Algernon Blackwood supplied an even earlier prototype for Dr. Strange with a character named John Silence, also a doctor, whose financial independence and philanthropic temperament enabled him to utilize his vast esoteric knowledge for the benefit of supernaturally plagued individuals.
