The Ghost Slayers
(2022)Thrilling Tales of Occult Detection
(Book 29 in the British Library Tales of the Weird series)
An anthology of stories edited by Mike Ashley
‘A soundless baying seemed to come from the open jaws, and in the eyes gleamed a light that was not of this world. It was not the green luminosity of an animal, but a purplish grey reflected from some cold planet beyond the range of our senses.’
Occult or psychic detective tales have been chilling readers since the 1800s. This beguiling subgenre follows specialists in occult lore – often with years of arcane training – investigating supernatural occurrences and pitting their wits against bizarre, terrifying and deadly forces.
This new collection assembles nine unnerving cases, including the strange encounters of prominent psychic detectives such as Carnacki, the Ghost Finder and Dr. Silence along with lesser-known, rarely reprinted episodes investigated by the likes of Flaxman Low, Cosmo Thor, Aylmer Vance and Mesmer Milann.
Genre: Horror
