Carnacki the Ghost-Finder

About this book

A room fills with whistling noises. An ancient house seems to possess a will, and a locked chamber promises death to anyone who enters. Thomas Carnacki arrives with a camera, scientific instruments and an electric pentacle.

William Hope Hodgson's investigator treats each haunting as a problem to be tested. Some apparent ghosts prove to have earthly causes; others resist every explanation Carnacki can devise. Told as accounts shared with friends after dinner, these cases combine practical detective work with moments of genuine cosmic dread. The careful experiments often make the final uncertainty more disturbing.
