Full Description
The weird and weirdly delightful adventures of fiction s first occult detective. Flaxman Low, literature s first professional, full-time 'occult detective,' i.e., an intrepid investigator who deploys the scientific method when tackling paranormal phenomena, appeared in a dozen stories first published from 1898 99. His creators, the mother-and-son team Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard and Kate O Brien Ryall Prichard (who published as 'E. and H. Heron'), endowed the Oxford-trained psychologist with the bravery and acumen to tackle every sort of adversary from ghosts, mummies, and vampires to a mushroom mannequin. Both less credulous and less cynical than earlier fictional investigators of the spirit world, Low always triumphs in the end but not before scientifically demonstrating that even the most outre incidents and situations can t hold a candle to the bizarre capacities of the human mind.
