7 best short stories - Occult Detective

By: William Hope Hodgson,Sheridan Le Fanu,H. and E. Heron,Alice Askew,August Nemo

Unlike the traditional detective, the occult detective is employed in cases involving ghosts, curses, and other supernatural elements. Some occult detectives are portrayed as being themselves psychic or in possession of other paranormal powers. The critic August Nemo selected seven mystery stories with the great experts in supernatural phenomena: - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson - The House Among the Laurels by William Hope Hodgson - The Story of Saddler's Croft by E. and H. Heron - The Story of Baelbrow by E. and H. Heron - Green Tea by Sheridan Le Fanu - The Familiar by Sheridan Le Fanu - Aylmer Vance and the Vampire by Alice and Claude Askew For more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection

Aylmer Vance: Ghost-Seer

By: Alice & Claude Askew

This is a collection of eight ghost stories, written by the remarkably prolific husband and wife team of Claude and Alice Askew, centering on Aylmer Vance, an investigator of the supernatural. Dexter, the narrator, meets Vance during a fishing holiday and Vance tells him three ghost stories on successive nights, each story involving Vance more closely in the action. The fourth story brings Dexter himself into the action, and reveals him to have unsuspected clairvoyant powers. The remaining stories feature Vance and Dexter as a sort of Holmes-and-Watson team investigating incidents not all of which prove to have supernatural causes. The final story, "The Fear" is very effective, describing a house in which a general feeling of extreme fear grips the inhabitants at various times and locations; the emotion of fear is effectively evoked and an interesting tale is constructed as Vance and Dexter work to assign the fear "a local habitation and a name".

Aylmer Vance
