A review by sisteray
Carnacki, the Ghost Finder by William Hope Hodgson

4.0

It makes me sad to think about what great stories Hodgson would have continued to write had he lived through WWI. I really dug these little gems. Sure there was a bit of a formula to them, but I feel that the author found a way to continually mix things up a bit. While these stories aren't as clever as Doyle's Holmes could be, they are packed with imaginative delights, with a couple true moments of horror. Characters aren't really his strong point, but his concepts are strong. There were lots of fun ideas bandied about and the vernacular remains highly entertaining.

This is something that anyone interested in turn-of-the-century genre fiction should seek out.
