Synopsis:

A gateway to late-Victorian mystery, and a lasting echo of a darker age. Carnacki, The Ghost Finder reintroduces Hodgson's masterfully eerie world with precision and reverence. This is more than a ghost story collection; it blends supernatural detective fiction with gothic mystery tales, anchored by haunting investigation themes and occult phenomena exploration. Readers follow Carnacki's method-diligent observation, careful inference, and a courage tempered by uncertainty-as the veil between the known and the uncanny thins. The mood is psychological suspense horror, balancing fear with rational scrutiny, and inviting both casual readers and classic literature enthusiasts into a richly textured british gothic setting. Historically, Hodgson's work helped sculpt the spiritual-psychological currents of its fin de siecle era, influencing later storytellers and academic study alike. This edition honours that heritage, pairing clean, accessible prose with scholarly lineage and a collector's sensibility. It stands as a cultural treasure for library collectors and devoted fans of Victorian occult intrigue, offering a lucid point of access for new readers and a cherished object for seasoned connoisseurs. Selling points you'll feel in every page: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For lovers of classic horror and Arthur Machen vibes, this volume is essential, a genuine addition to any serious library of ghost lore.
