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.Carnacki, The Ghost Finder – No 1 – The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny The Dead Hand by L T Meade and Robert Eustace The Man with No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood An Expiation by Arabella Kenealy The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writing as Dion Fortune The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward The Story of ‘The Spaniards’, Hammersmith by Kate and Hesketh Pritchard
