Shiela Crerar / Luna Bartendale & the Undying Monster
Supernatural Detectives 4 focuses on two early female psychic detectives. It includes the six Shiela Crerar stories, following her adventures with the otherworldly, whether ghost, werewolf, or other supernatural creature. It also includes the full-length novel, The Undying Monster (1922), featuring the "Supersensitive" Luna Bartendale, where her intelligence, intuition, and courage are put to the test as she confronts a cruel and bestial creature that haunts the lineage of an old family.
Born in 1884 Jessie Douglas Kerruish was a regular contributor to The Weekly Tale-Teller, a paper publishing short stories, she often set her tales in North Africa and the Near East. She went on to publish two story collections and two novels before eventually publishing her English-set supernatural story 'The Undying Monster'. Initially received well, and even inspiring a film years later, this macabre and imaginative tale has been viewed as a real classic of its genre.
