Praise: "Urban fantasy has a special place in my heart, and the Occult Detective is perhaps the fundamental urban-fantasy archetype. An anthology of this kind is can serve two purposes: The first is to provide a taste of the genre to those that might otherwise be unfamiliar with it, and the second is to provide fans of the genre a chance to discover writers they may not have already come across. It was well worth the read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly for any fan of the urban fantasy/occult detective genre; even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre and would like a taste as to what it’s all about." — Nick Bronson -- "Urban Fantasy readers will love this book, and it is a first-rate group of stories." — Paul Lappan, Reviewer

Download or read book Giving Up the Ghosts Short Lived Occult Detective Series by Six Renowned Authors written by Conrad Richter and published by Coachwhip Publications. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Sherlock Holmes pooh-poohed the notion that the supernatural could invade our daily lives, not all fictional detectives have. There is a long history of literary sleuths who accept the reality of those supernatural intrusions in order to solve a case-be it a haunting or a crime. There are also characters who rely on their own supernatural abilities in their battle against lawbreakers. These are the occult detectives. Bram Stoker's Dr. Van Helsing, Ambrose Bierce's John Silence, William Hope Hodgson's Carnaki, and Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin are among the best remembered of the first wave of occult detectives. Their adventures were enough to fill books, though. Some of their colleagues lasted only for two, three, or four stories. These are the short-series occult detectives, and they come together here for the first time. Fitz-James O'Brien's Harry Escott, Gelett Burgess's Enoch Garrish, Algernon Blackwood's Jim Shorthouse, L.T. Meade and Robert Eustace's Diana Marburg, A.M. Burrage's Derek Scarpe, and Conrad Richter's Matson Bell unravel sixteen dark mysteries in this collection. Tim Prasil, who has re-written the history of this blending of mystery and supernatural fiction, introduces the book and each author/detective while supplying useful and interesting footnotes along the way. Giving Up the Ghosts belongs on the shelf of any occult-detective fiction connoisseur-or in the hands of readers eager to discover this exciting cross-genre.
