The Book of Carnacki the Ghost-Finder
A Celebration of William Hope Hodgson’s Famous Occult Detective
Few if any classic detectives in fiction have spawned so many later pastiches and homages as William Hope Hodgson’s Carnacki the Ghost Finder. Whilst Sherlock Holmes exemplified the logic-wielding consulting detective, it was another, Thomas Carnacki – owing a little to Holmes and a little to the Victorian amateur psychic sleuth – who melded the science of rational investigation with the world of spiritual exploration. In doing so, his character proved formative for the entire field of occult detective literature.
