Synopsis

Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn.

Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales' 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.

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

Goodreads review by Anne on June 22, 2018

More of the Same Kind When I reviewed the first book in this series I said that if I had more such stories I would go right on reading. After posting that review I looked on Amazon and lo and behold, there WERE more stories! I bought this book and the next one and went right on reading. The introduct......more

Goodreads review by Reid on June 02, 2021

Seabury Quinn was a bigger name during Weird Tales's run than H. P. Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard. His stories were in virtually every issue and graced Weird Tales covers more than any other writer. It's surprising he's virtually unknown today, because his prose and vivid descriptions are very good......more

Goodreads review by Riju on October 14, 2018

Once again, from a pulp-lover's perspective, this collection is one of the best things that could have happened.
