  Step into the world of one of the most influential paranormal investigators of the early 20th century with "CARNACKI: The Complete Collection". This definitive anthology brings together all of William Hope Hodgson’s celebrated stories featuring the brilliant, if eccentric, investigator, Thomas Carnacki. Known for his keen intellect, inventive methods, and unshakable resolve, Carnacki faces some of the most chilling and enigmatic supernatural phenomena of his time. 
  Throughout these nine tales, Carnacki is called upon to confront strange forces that defy logic and reason. Armed with his trusty scientific tools, a deep understanding of the occult, and a fearless heart, he investigates everything from spectral hauntings and ghostly apparitions to malevolent spirits and unearthly forces lurking in the shadows. 
  The first six stories were collected in the 1913 anthology, “Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder”, with the latter three appearing in an expanded collection of the same name published in 1947.

  Pagan's Pilgrimage

  John Herdman

  John Herdman's beautiful and mysterious Edinburgh tale, Pagan's Pilgrimage, first published in Scotland 1978.
  
  
  With nascent love abandoned and the recurring presence of the creeping 'wrinkled-nosed' laundry man of a traumatic childhood, the stagnating life of Pagan must be revived by the discovery of a somewhat questionable raison d'être ― the assassination of an aristocrat.
  
  The spleenful nature of Herdman's titular protagonist and a selection of odd experiences perfectly sets up a strife deep within himself: can Pagan commit to his partially book-found life-calling, tangled into his pilgrimage?
  
  In Pagan's Pilgrimage, John Herdman expertly demonstrates his capacity to evoke complicatedly moralising characters with haunting effect. Equal parts absurd and ephemeral Pagan's Pilgrimage is an enigmatical Edinburgh tale.
  
  
  "A sustained and often brilliant performance ... sheer comic invention and verbal ingenuity ... This is an observant, intelligent and humorous novel of great merit."
  
  Alan Bold, The Scotsman
  
  
  ".... the writing is brilliant .....a kind of exploration of the Scottish soul .... An unforgettable piece of writing."
  
  Cuthbert Graham, Press & Journal
  
  "There is a seriousness at the heart of it, a wide philosophical background, and an acute psychological verity ... all that I have spoken of will delight you."
  
  Catherine Lockerbie, The Student
  
  "Remarkable in its clarity and disturbing in its implications. The novel is an impressive construct, amusing, climactic, at times dreadful, and locked together in tidily effective prose."
  
  David Campbell, Scottish Educational Journal

  A “fresh, intense, erotic, funny, and scary” novel of vampiric horror from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Stillhouse Lake novels (P.N. Elrod, author of Drawing Dead and Other Stories). After eight years of marriage, surgeon Mike Bowman and his police officer wife have snuck time into their busy schedules to celebrate their anniversary. But work is never far from Mike’s mind, which is why he finds himself in the morgue in the middle of night instead of in his wife’s arms . . .    Trying to come to terms with two young murder victims he wasn’t able to save, Mike unburdens himself to his friend and morgue attendant Adam Radburn. Good ol’ Adam, whose eyes seem bizarrely dark tonight and whose reflection in the cold storage drawers . . . doesn’t exist.    When Adam reveals his true self to Mike—and saves him from the clutches of death—Mike goes from a man trained to save lives to one who must take them to survive. And though Mike is now immune to mortal dangers, there are new threats to contend with and worse creatures who walk the Earth. One has been tracking Adam for centuries. To satisfy his bloodlust, he’s willing to destroy everyone Adam holds dear—including his new offspring.  “In The Undead, vampires lurk menacingly, and they are not the cute, cuddly, romantic-type vampires of modern urban fiction. These are serious, life-threatening, blood-sucking, kill-you-till-you’re-dead vampires . . . [A] diamond in the rough.” —Rambles
