Detective Stories – The Occult

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. In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. In this volume our detectives come armed with superpowers as they battle to stop and unmask mysterious adversaries either of this world …. or the next. 1 - The Detective - The Occult - An Introduction 2 - Green Tea - Part 1 by Sheridan Le Fanu 3 - Green Tea - Part 2 by Sheridan Le Fanu 4 - The Pit in the Garden by A M Burrage 5 - The Murder in an Omnibus by Harold Begbie 6 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling 7 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writing as Dion Fortune 8 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson 9 - An Expiation by Arabella Kenealy 10 - The House of Black Evil by Eric Purves 11 - The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward 12 - The Dead Hand by L T Meade and Robert Eustace 13 - The Story of 'The Spaniards', Hammersmith by Kate and Hesketh Pritchard 14 - The Man With No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins 15 - John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood 16 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny
