About this audiobook
Here, we take matters one stage further with a volume that covers the Occult Detectives. In many ways they are a class apart, their ways of working with mysterious forces, both intriguing and exciting as they unmask situations and criminals either of this world or the next.
It follows that this genre is also chock full of brilliant literary talents from Algernon Blackwood to William Hope Hodgson, Rudyard Kipling and many others, some who have been unjustly forgotten over the decades but who’s rediscovery is very timely and very welcome.

Algernon Blackwood
Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English journalist, novelist, and short story writer. Born in Shooter’s Hill, he developed an interest in Hinduism and Buddhism at a young age. After a youth spent travelling and taking odd jobs—Canadian dairy farmer, bartender, model, violin teacher—Blackwood returned to England and embarked on a career as a professional writer. Known for his connection to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Blackwood gained a reputation as a master of occult storytelling, publishing such popular horror stories as “The Willows” and “The Wendigo.” He also wrote several novels, including Jimbo: A Fantasy (1909) and The Centaur (1911). Throughout his life, Blackwood was a passionate outdoorsman, spending much of his time skiing and mountain climbing. Recognized as a pioneering writer of ghost stories, Blackwood influenced such figures as J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, and Henry Miller.
