Praise for the Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin
"Hercule Poirot meets Fox Mulder . . . gruesomely effective, and
purists who object to detective stories with paranormal elements
will find that the moment each story crosses the border to the
supernatural raises genuine shivers."—Kirkus Reviews
“Connoisseurs of pulp adventure . . . will be
delighted.”—Publishers Weekly
"A collection of wonderfully fun mashups. Seabury Quinn's stories
are bloody and action-packed, with the sort of shameless,
disreputable charm that characterizes the best of the pulps. Even
if there's little that's truly original in his work, his clever
assortment of monsters and occult menaces make for tremendously
entertaining stories. His admirers have every reason to be thrilled
with these comprehensive new collections, and the writer will find
new fans among those who enjoy truly weird horror."—Barnes & Noble
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"A fun, spooky trip back to the golden age of weird . . . De
Grandin, 'his little blond mustache twitching like the whiskers of
an excited cat,' is an exuberant, delightful creation."—Publishers
Weekly
"Quite fun; [the stories] move quickly and offer up a tantalizing
blend of mystery and the bizarre . . . [Quinn's] characterizations
and pacing lead to stories that are quite satisfying."—Kirkus
Reviews
“A true 'time lost literary treasure' brought back into print for
the benefit of a new generation of appreciative readers, "The Dark
Angel" is an extraordinarily entertaining read from cover to cover
. . . unreservedly recommended for community library Science
Fiction & Fantasy collections.”—Midwest Book Review
“Read this and you will get a blast of the past...It's nice to see
the old stories gathered up and being shared again. Stories never
die as long as there's still one storyteller left.”—Book Faerie
"Many of these stories have been unavailable for years. I applaud
Night Shade Books for bringing these wonderful stories back into
print. I can't wait for Volume Two! GRADE: A"—GeorgeKelley.org
