Jean Ray

Died in 1964

Jean Ray is the pen name of Raymond De Kremer, born in Ghent on 8 July 1887. He wrote in French under this name, in Dutch under that of John Flanders, and under dozens of other pseudonyms, fantasy, crime and adventure stories, including more than a hundred episodes of Harry Dickson. Convicted in 1926 of embezzlement, he served only part of his sentence. He fostered the legend of a sailor and alcohol smuggler, which his biographers dispute. He died in Ghent on 17 September 1964.
