Occult or psychic detective tales have been chilling readers for almost as long as there have been ghost stories. This beguiling subgenre follows specialists in occult lore—often with years of arcane training—investigating strange supernatural occurrences and pitting their wits against the bizarre and inexplicable.

With tales featuring the most prominent psychic detectives, such as William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki, the Ghost Finder, and Algernon Blackwood's Dr. Silence, this new collection also includes rare and never-before-reprinted cases investigated by the likes of Flaxman Low, Cosmo Thor, Aylmer Vance, and Mesmer Milann.

The Ghost Slayers offers a captivating journey into the mysterious world of psychic detectives, showcasing their battles against otherworldly forces with a compelling mix of suspense and intrigue.
