    About this audiobook

    Seabury Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of the pulp magazine Weird Tales's original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries-and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)-captivated readers for nearly three decades.

    Collected for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, presents all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.

      "I admit that I've read only 10 of the many stories in this book and found them all suffering from the same illness: no attempt at coherency. Consider a hand---cut off at the wrist, flying through the air to break into a house and rob it at the command of the hypnotist whose female assistant had died and from whom he severed the hand while her body lie in the morgue. The logic was that the assistant was accustomed to obey hypnotic commands in life, and the hand would continue to obey after death. Nowhere does Quinn even try to explain how the hand was able not merely to follow orders but to fly through the air! Each of the 10 stories I've read have the same gross flaws and all of the characters in the tales accept the wisdom of de Grandin without compunction (we're talking mummies and werewoves and vampires and 600 year old Rumanian counts drinking the blood of virgins, and a cult of lovely young rich ladies who worship Pan, but are afraid to actually meet him).I will say this for the books: the covers by Donato Giancarlo are wonderful and provided me more pleasure to see than the stories did to read.But, truth be told, if I were to have read these stories at age 13 I'd probably have loved them. As it is, I must stand behind my conviction that William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki stories are far superior in the genre of spiritual detectives and supernatural villains. The de Grandin stories are aimed at a light and humorous view of the supernatural and is written in a light and humorous style. Hodgson, on the other hand, writes in the vain of Merritt and Poe and Lovecraft...and with the same skill and tone--and depth--as those worthies. So, if you can still stomach the tales of your youth then read Quinn. Otherwise, restrict yourself to the real masters (""The House on the Borderland"", ""The Night Land"", ""The Boats of the Glenn Carrig"" are still among my favorite tales--primarily for their sophistication of style and spiritual tone that sucks me in and the makes me ""feel"" the horrors of the situations). Hodgson's Carnacki stories can be found on the internet for easy downloading; and well worth the effort."

      Audiobook: A longtime fan of Dr. Jules de Grand in and Dr. Trowbridge, pulp fiction occult counterparts to Holmes and Watson. Their targets are werewolves, ghostly Knights Templar, mummies, vampires, and other deadly supernatural villains. The intent is to collect all 92 stories. I can hardly wait for the second volume.
