Published in 1957, The Birth of the Martyr's Ghost was the first novel by Warner Jackson, aka W. Warner Jackson, an African-American author who lived in Kansas City, Kansas. He was born in Spur, Texas and worked as a railroad porter, cook, hotel house man, machinist, painter, and mail carrier, among other jobs. He would go on to write only two more novels, Lust for Youth (1960) and Cavern of Rage (1961). Unfortunately, little else is known about him.
