Seabury Quinn’s The Classic Collection of Jules de Grandin (Twenty Books) brings together the unforgettable adventures of one of pulp fiction’s most colorful occult detectives. First appearing in the legendary pages of Weird Tales magazine, French physician and paranormal investigator Jules de Grandin—brilliant, daring, and quick-tempered—tackles the strange, the sinister, and the supernatural with courage and wit.
Across these twenty volumes, readers encounter haunted houses, ancient curses, sinister cults, vampires, werewolves, and unspeakable horrors drawn from both folklore and imagination. De Grandin, aided by his friend Dr. Trowbridge, faces each new menace with a mix of scientific knowledge, fearless bravery, and Gallic charm, making him one of the most enduring heroes of early 20th-century weird fiction.
Quinn’s storytelling combines fast-paced plots with eerie atmosphere, delivering tales that are equal parts mystery, horror, and adventure. The stories capture the golden age of pulp magazines, when each installment promised new thrills, shocking twists, and exotic dangers.
This collection showcases Quinn’s remarkable range, from gruesome cases steeped in Gothic terror to lighter adventures laced with humor and romance.
The Classic Collection of Jules de Grandin (Twenty Books) is an essential treasury for fans of pulp literature, horror, and classic supernatural fiction, preserving the legacy of a detective who battled nightmares with intellect, courage, and a sharp sword.
