Carnacki the Ghost Finder

For today’s countdown to Halloween reading suggestion: The Casebook of Carnacki the Ghost Finder, by W.H. Hodgson. A series of stories featuring a Sherlock Holmes wannabe like the literary world of early 20th century often produced. Except that this one is a psychic investigator or ghost hunter or whatever you call the profession. A lot of the cases he investigates are not caused by supernatural agents but hoaxes of very human nature. Sometimes he stumbled upon a real haunting or demonic activity. Sometimes it’s a mix of both. So Carnacki is the spiritual father of Lovecraftian protagonists as well as... Scooby Doo. Still it has its moments. (And on a side note: if you haven't noticed, there's a typo on the title of this book).
