The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember. Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation or bunch of red herrings into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. Here, we take matters one stage further with a volume that covers the Occult Detectives. In many ways they are a class apart, their ways of working with mysterious forces, both intriguing and exciting as they unmask situations and criminals either of this world or the next. It follows that this genre is also chock full of brilliant literary talents from Algernon Blackwood to William Hope Hodgson, Rudyard Kipling and many others, some who have been unjustly forgotten over the decades but who’s rediscovery is very timely and very welcome. 01 - The Occult Detective - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 02 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson 03 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny 04 - The Dead Hand by L T Meade and Robert Eustace 05 - The Man With No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins 06 - John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood 07 - An Expiation by Arabella Kenealy 08 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune 09 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling 10 - The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward 11 - The Story of 'The Spaniards', Hammersmith by Kate and Hesketh Pritchard
