Samuel Shellabarger was an American author and scholar who wrote historical adventure novels in the first half of the 20th century. He taught English at Princeton before turning to fiction full-time. His biggest successes came in the 1940s with Captain From Castile and Prince of Foxes, both of which became bestsellers and were adapted into major Hollywood films.
Shellabarger published under his own name for historical fiction and used pseudonyms for his mystery and thriller novels written in the 1930s. Books like The Door of Death and Voodoo appeared under pen names and are very different in tone from his later sweeping historical work. His career bridged two eras of popular fiction, from pulp mysteries to large-scale historical epics.
