Black Moon: The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, Volume Five (Volume 5) Relié – 19 mars 2019
Options d'achat et paniers Plus
22 collected tales of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural detective made famous in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales.
Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn.
Quinn’s short stories were featured in well over half of Weird Tales’s original publication run. His most famous character, the French supernatural detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin’s knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (Grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades.
Available for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin series collects all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.
The fifth volume, Black Moon, includes all the stories from “Suicide Chapel” (1938) to “The Ring of Bastet” (1951), as well as an introduction by George Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg and a foreword by Stephen Jones.

Revue de presse
"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
“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

4,0 sur 5 étoiles Great Book but I received a remainder copy.
Seabury Quinn is best taken in small doses. A story a night is about the right pace. My only complaint is that the copy I received from Amazon was a remainder copy.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Who Was Jules de Grandin?
This fifth volume of the complete cases of Jules de Grandin, by Seabury Quinn, rounds out one of the most memorable sagas of the pulp era. De Grandin was a psychic detective, operating from a suburban town in New Jersey, he encountered ghouls, goblins, vampires, werewolves in dozens of issues of WEIRD TALES. To the modern reader, some of these stories seem a trifle obvious and contrived, but taken in the spirit of the era in which they were written, they provide a wonderful background for the modern myths of Stephen King and his contemporaries. Beautifully produced and furnished with knowledgeable commentary, they are a wonderful visit to the world of dark fantasy.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Well written. Not a quick read.
As the introduction says these stories are better read slowly as in one a sitting. The writing is good but as most writing of the early 20th century it's not as simple or toned down as today's. I read these stories over a year. Just coming back when I had time to sit and consume the story.
