Casebooks of the Psychic Investigators Volume 1, Two Classic Short Story Collections of Hauntings and Hoaxes

The Adventures of John Bell, Ghost Exposer & The Casebook of Norton Vyse

Volume one of a trilogy of the tales of Sleuths of the Supernatural

As almost every aficionado of supernatural fiction knows the Victorian and Edwardian eras were 'Golden Ages'for both writers and readers. Ghost stories abounded within books and magazines of the period. Most commonly, within these tales, it was the troubled spirits who took the centre stage together with those unfortunates they were terrorising.Then a new form of the chilling tale emerged-one in which the haunters became the hunted!.So arrived on the literary scene several fictional Occult Investigators whose adventures received a ready and enthusiastic audience. This three volume Leonaur collection brings together six collections of stories featuring those who pursued ghostly apparitions or revealed that they were very human hoaxers.

Those deceivers who used the supernatural to disguise their deeds found John Bell to be their nemesis. This volume includes thirteen stories. The seven John Bell tales are accompanied by the six- story collection of Norton Vyse investigations. Vyse is a talented psychic who assists his clients in resolving their supernatural problems. The John Bell story collection includes, 'The Mystery of the Circular Chamber', ' The Mystery of the Felwyn Tunnel' 'Eight Mile Lock' and others.The Norton Vyse stories include, 'The Shears of Atropos', 'The Villa on the Borderive Road',

'The Moving Finger' and others.
