The Weiser Book of Occult Detectives by Judika Illes

13 Stories of Supernatural Sleuthing Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from The X-Files. Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks. The Winchester brothers of Supernatural, Harry Dresden of The Dresden Files. These are but a few of the most popular examples of modern occult detectives. Detectives solve crimes or mysteries, but to qualify as an occult detective, some sort of supernatural or occult element must exist. There are different kinds of occult detectives: some are regular detectives who find themselves in paranormal situations; others possess arcane knowledge or supernatural gifts, which they use to solve crimes. The Weiser Book of Occult Detectives: 13 Stories of Supernatural Sleuthing is a compilation of vintage occult detective stories written by masters of the genre including Arthur Conan Doyle, Algernon Blackwood, Dion Fortune, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, and Helena Blavatsky.
