    About this ebook

    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
