He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade."

Like London and Conrad, , Gaston had a passion for the sea, which didn't go much further than sailing and deap-sea fishing at St. Valery-en Caux, in Normandy. To please his father, Gaston, who wanted to become a writer, studied law instead. His father died the year Gaston had graduated, and left him a coniderable fortune, which, none the less, Gaston managed to burn in less than a year, enjoying the Parisian life of the Quartier Latin, champagne, beautiful ladies, gamblings and expensive dinners. Indeed, Leroux was a sought-after companion. Around his table the conversations were intensely animated with wit, humour and laughter. He then started as a freelance writer, and eventually was appointed as a critic by a Parisian newspaper. This was the start of a journalistic career, followed by worlwide missions at Le Matin, which brought Gaston as far as to Egypt and Korea. In Russia, in 1905, he covered the first turbulences of the Revolution.

Gaston Leroux Phantom of the Opera Introduction "While he had been telling me the story I noticed him continually rubbing the glass of the eyeglasses he had found on the side table. From the evident pleasure he was taking in handling them I felt they must be one of those sensible evidences destined to enter what he had called the circle of the right end of his reason. That strange and unique way of his, to express himself in terms wonderfully adequate for his thoughts, no longer surprised me. It was often necessary to know his thought to understand the terms he used; and it was not easy to penetrate into Rouletabille's thinking." ( La Mystere de la Chambre Jaune Gaston Leroux, born on 6th May 1868, and trained as a lawyer on his father's instruction. He dreamed of becoming a writer however and, influenced by Dumas Poe and Hugo . Leroux's life was eventful to say the least.
