<nowiki> </nowiki>Although the book refers to the author as male,<ref>The morning before I left for that fight with the young devil, I was 
seventeen years old, doing the sort of thing seventeen year old boys are

Unrest, writing tomes themselves, under the guise of being diabolists.  A
 hard thing to ignore, when new diabolists crop up every other month.  
Or when we’re being asked to distribute books.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/24/histories-arc-15/ excerpt] from [[Interlude 15]]</ref> some fans have speculated the author of Black Lamb's Blood was actually one such demon.
