Ian Coster

Born: Unknown.

Died: Unknown.

Ian Coster had come to London from New Zealand, where his journalistic career had commenced as a junior on the Auckland Sun. After the Second World War, Coster went on to become a well-known columnist on the Daily Mail, but in the early 1930s he was working on the Sunday Dispatch.  In 1933 he arranged with Crowley to ghost-write a series of three articles for Crowley for a sum of £40.  These were later published in the Sunday Dispatch as "The 'Worst Man in the World' Tells His Story" on 18 June 1933, "I Make Myself Invisible" on 25 June 1933, and "Black Magic is a Myth" on 2 July 1933.
