Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six stories, first published in The Idler in 1910 and New Magazine in 1910 and 1912, appeared in the original 1913 publication of Carnacki the Ghost-Finder. Three additional stories were found among William Hope Hodgson's papers after his death and were included in an expanded edition published in 1947. The nine stories are presented by a first-person narrator (Dodgson), one of a group of four friends to whom Carnacki reports on his occult investigations. Three of the stories ("The Thing Invisible," "The Find," and "The House Among the Laurels") are mystery stories; two ("The Horse of the Invisible" and "The Searcher of the End House") have apparently rational conclusions that are compromised by elements that cannot be explained by rational means. The investigations often involve the animation of inert objects to cause bodily harm or create a sense of imminent threat to life or sanity. In "The Thing Invisible," a knife displayed in a family chapel lives up to its reputation of striking murderously at enemies of the Jarnock family who enter the chapel at night. The door to the Grey Room in "The Gateway of the Monster" slams constantly at night while bedclothes are pulled from a bed and thrown into a corner of a room. Blood drips from the ceiling, sealed doors open, and candles and fires are extinguished in "The House Among the Laurels." The floor of "The Whistling Room" puckers like a gigantic pair of lips and whistles until the sound rises to a "mad screaming note...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgson's combination of classic detection with occult investigations was not without precedent. Hodgson's Carnacki is a younger version of J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Martin Hesselius (introduced in "Green Tea," 1869), a doctor of "metaphysical medicine," and Algernon Blackwood's title character of the story collection John Silence, Physician Extraordinary (1908). Unlike them, Carnacki has no medical training, but he does have a strong scientific bent, illustrated by his invention of an ingenious "Electric Pentacle," a variation of the cabalistic five-pointed star enclosed within a circle and intended to act as a barrier against malevolent occult forces. Carnacki refers to his use of formulae from ancient magic rituals as a "curious thing for a Twentieth Century man" that might provoke "cheap laughter" from some. Carnacki, however, will not allow himself to be "blinded" by ridicule: "I ask questions and keep my eyes open."

Book excerpt: Carnacki - The Ghost Finder by William Hope Hodgson. Complete Edition. Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder is a collection of occult detective short stories by author William Hope Hodgson. It was first published in 1913 by the English publisher Eveleigh Nash. In 1947, a new edition of 3,050 copies was published by Mycroft & Moran and included three additional stories. The Mycroft & Moran version is listed as No. 52 in Queen's Quorum: A History of the Detective-Crime Short Story As Revealed by the 100 Most Important Books Published in this Field Since 1845 by Ellery Queen. "The Thing Invisible" A chapel attached to an Edwardian manor house contains an ancient, cursed dagger that has just apparently murdered someone of its own accord, and naturally, Carnacki is called in to investigate. He spends the night in the chapel wearing armour with his camera ready to photograph any mysterious phenomena. All night he hears mysterious noises. As he approaches the altar, the dagger nearly kills him. The photographic evidence settles it, though—there is a rational explanation. The somewhat demented elderly gentleman of the manor house has armed an ancient trap that guards the altar: a spring mechanism designed to fling the dagger when the altar gate is opened. Carnacki uncovers the truth because of a subtle difference between the "before" and "after" photographs of the altar's cast iron metalwork.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the leading names in classic weird fiction, William Hope Hodgson remains an influential and powerful storyteller, remembered chiefly for his nautical horror stories and for his occult detective, Carnacki the Ghost-finder. Hodgson's career - cut off prematurely in World War One - was extensive and elaborate, and this book contains the cream of the crop: the Sargasso Sea Mythos, a broad selection of his best maritime horror stories, printings of his lesser known strange tales (including The Baumoff Explosive and The Goddess of Death), five of the most striking Carnacki cases, and excerpts from two of his elaborate supernatural novels. Illustrated and annotated, these stories include episodes of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery: floating stone ships, derelicts teeming with man-eating rats, ghost pirates, mutant weed men, carnivorous trees, parasitic fungi, were-sharks (you read that right), a ship with a heartbeat, a cursed room that whistles in the night, a castaway who refuses to let his hideous face be seen, freakish mutations, deadly ghost ships, bloodthirsty octopi, demonic hogs, and more. Hodgson's fiction reveals a level of anguished vulnerability that blends the cynical realism with fantastic romanticism, creating a borderland - a liminal doorway - that brings the anxieties of the every-day into contact with the fantasias of the nightmarish. The landscapes of his fiction - the weed-choked Sargasso Sea, the steaming South Pacific, Irish manor houses, derelict ghost ships - act as borderlands whereby these uncomfortable thoughts and existential pangs can enter into our world - to haunt and infect it. The illustrated, annotated stories included in this unique anthology - stories of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery - are among Hodgson's best and will not fail to disturb, amuse, and inhabit your imagination.TALES INCLUDED in this ANNOTATED EDITION:The Grey Seas are Dreaming of My Death | The "Shamraken" Homeward-Bounder | Out of the Storm | From the Tideless Sea | Further News from the "Homebird" | The Thing in the Weeds | The Finding of the "Graiken" | A Tropical Horror | The Mystery of the Derelict | The Derelict | The Stone Ship | Demons of the Sea | The Haunted "Pampero" | Excerpts: The Boats of the Glenn Carrig | Excerpts: The Ghost Pirates | The Voice in the Night | The Baumoff Explosive | The Goddess of Death | The Valley of Lost Children | The Terror of the Water Tank | The Gateway of the Monster | The Horse of the Invisible | The Searcher of the End House | The Whistling Room | The Hog
