P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognisable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuinn's short stories were featured in well over half of \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e's original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French 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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCollected for the first time in trade editions, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by George Vanderburgh, presents 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Angel\u003c\/i\u003e, includes all of the Jules de Grandin stories from \"The Lost Lady\" (1931) to \"The Hand of Glory\" (1933), as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Bride\u003c\/i\u003e, the only novel featuring de Grandin, which was originally serialised over six issues of \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e. It also includes a foreword by Darrell Schweitzer and an introduction by George Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072701972716,"sku":"9781597809443","price":74.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24457193482756.jpg?v=1765127566"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/series-the-complete-tales-of-jules-de-grandin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
