A Retrospective Collection of Classic Occult and Supernatural Detective Stories by Some of the Field’s Greatest and Best-Known Weird Fiction Authors Since the gaslit nights at the end of the nineteenth century, the occult detective has been a beloved and recurring archetype. Mixing the best aspects of the detective tale and weird or supernatural fiction, and capitalizing in part on the massive popularity of Sherlock Holmes, these stories portrayed men and women pitted against surreal and horrifying foes, usually with little to defend them but their own savvy, experience, and know-how. From William Hope Hodgson’s Thomas Carnacki, to Seabury Quinn’s fearless Frenchman Jules de Grandin, to Jessica Salmonson’s Penelope Pettiweather, the occult detective has taken a variety of forms, investigated a wide array of supernatural and otherworldly cases, and entertained generations of readers. This new collection compiles thirty-one all-time classic occult detective stories as it traces the genre’s growth from its nineteenth-century origins to the late twentieth century, showcasing the work of acclaimed pioneers of weird tales alongside cult favorites and exciting modern talents.   So, step into the shadows, join us on this journey into the dark, and become a fighter of fear . . .

Extraordinary Seabury Quinn short story about a High-Church cathedral dean who gets caught in an impossible conflict, both outward and inward. Quinn knew as much about the Episcopal Church as did James Gould Cozzens.

Cimmerian September #3 - The Tower of the Elephant

The Weird Tales issue for March 1933 hits the readers with yet another installment of Otis Adelbert Kline’s Buccaneers of Venus (that by now has got me curious enough that I’ll probably read it in October), yet another novelette by Seabury Quinn featuring Jules de Grandin, and then two stories by Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith. As luck would have it, The Tower of the Elephant and The…

Alice from The Devil's Bride (a novel by Seabury Quinn, 1976) | amazing art by Stephen Fabian.

My note: This novel was originally published in six parts in "Weird Tales" and is Quinn's tour-de-force. Alice, a young, beautiful golden-haired bride-to-be is abducted under mysterious circumstances during her wedding rehearsal. Doctors and occult investigators, de Grandin and Towbridge take on the case and soon uncover a global plot involving Satanists, Bolsheviks, and other assorted nasties seeking to make Alice the literal bride of Satan! Enjoyably preposterous, this tale features, cults, violence, murder, copious female nudity and lots of racism. Overwritten, like nearly all of Quinn's work, it still maintains a breathless pace and never lags even if the logic does. Implausible as hell, the journey is the thing. Recommended for fans of the obscure and the just plain weird. If you are a fan of the kinds of stories "Weird Tales" ran in its heyday, this is a must-have.
