Sheridan Le Fanu- Carnacki, the Ghost Finder by William Hope Hodgson- Flaxman Low, Occult Psychologist, Collected Stories by H. Hesketh-PrichardIn a Glass Darkly is a collection of five short stories by Sheridan Le Fanu, first published in 1872, the year before his death. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "e;through a glass darkly"e;. Carnacki the Ghost-Finder is a collection of occult detective short stories by English writer William Hope Hodgson. Carnacki lives in a bachelor flat in No 472 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea; the stories are told from a first-person perspective by Dodgson, a member of Carnacki's "e;strictly limited circle of friends"e;, much as Holmes' adventures were told from Watson's point of view. Flaxman Low is a fictional character created by British authors Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard and his mother Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard, published under the pseudonyms "e;H. Heron"e; and "e;E. Heron"e;. Low is credited with being the first psychic detective of fiction, and appears in a series of short stories. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know.
