John Silence, Physician Extraordinary

Contemporaries of Sherlock Holmes, the occult detectives were Victorian- and Edwardian-era investigators concerned with all manner of psychic, spectral and paranormal matters, eager to separate reality—no matter how bizarre—from hoaxers and con men.

In this volume, renowned psychic investigator Dr. John Silence delves into five cases, ranging from the psychical invasion of a long-dead resident upon a writer of humorous tales to disturbing incidents of lycanthropy, with a twist only Dr. John Silence could conceive.
