* NO. 472 CHEYNE WALK by A. F. (Chico) Kidd & Rick Kennett - Ash-Tree Press HC. William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki the Ghost-Finder was published in 1913, and contained six stories describing the adventures of the plucky occult detective Thomas Carnacki. Like the stories of Sherlock Holmes, the Carnacki tales contain several references to other, never-described cases. These references intrigued writers A. F. (Chico) Kidd and Rick Kennett, who decided to try to fill in some of the details. Their first four stories were published by the Ghost Story Society in 1992, in a booklet entitled No. 472 Cheyne Walk. Since then both authors have continued to explore the mysterious world of Carnacki, with eight new stories. Here's all twelve, at 235 pages. ... $45.00
