Wikipedia description:

William Buehler Seabrook (February 22, 1884 – September 20, 1945) was an American occultist, explorer, world traveler, journalist and author. He began his career as a reporter and city editor of the Augusta Chronicle in Georgia and later worked for the New York Times. He is well known for his writing on, and engaging in, cannibalism. Seabrook's 1929 book The Magic Island, which documents his experiences with Haitian Vodou, is considered the first popular English-language work to describe the concept of zombies.
