Resumen del Editor
Seabury Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales'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, 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.
The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh, presents all 93 published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.
The third volume, The Dark Angel, includes all of the Jules de Grandin stories from "The Lost Lady" to "The Hand of Glory", as well as The Devil's Bride, the only novel featuring de Grandin, which was originally serialized over six issues of Weird Tales. It also includes a foreword by Darrell Schweitzer and an introduction by George Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg.

The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13.

London, June 1860: When an assassination attempt is made on Queen Victoria, and a petty thief is gruesomely murdered moments later - and only a block away - Chief Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that these crimes are connected to an even more sinister plot. Was Victoria really the assassin's target? Are those closest to the Crown hiding something? Soon, Field's investigation exposes a shocking conspiracy in which the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species sets off a string of murders, arson, kidnapping, and the pursuit of a diabolical madman.

Wyatt Gwyon's desire to forge is not driven by larceny but from love. Exactingly faithful to the spirit and letter of the Flemish masters, he produces uncannily accurate "originals" - pictures the painters themselves might have envied. In an age of counterfeit emotion and taste, the real and fake have become indistinguishable; yet Gwyon's forgeries reflect a truth that others cannot touch - cannot even recognize.

Historia
H. P. Lovecraft is arguably the most important horror writer of the 20th century. Culled from his 1927 essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature”, Lovecraft acknowledges those authors and stories that he feels are the very finest the horror field has to offer, including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson, Guy de Maupassant, Ambrose Bierce, and Arthur Conan Doyle. This chilling collection includes 20 works, each prefaced by Lovecraft's own opinions and insights in each author’s work.

Historia
Ghost stories date back centuries, but those written in the Victorian era have a unique atmosphere and dark beauty. Michael Sims, whose previous Victorian collections Dracula’s Guest (vampires) and The Dead Witness (detectives) have been widely praised, has gathered twelve of the best stories about humanity’s oldest supernatural obsession. The Phantom Coach includes tales by a surprising and often legendary cast, including Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lost gems by forgotten masters such as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and W. F. Harvey. Amelia B. Edwards’s chilling story gives the collection its title, while Ambrose Bierce ("The Moonlit Road"), Elizabeth Gaskell ("The Old Nurse’s Story"), and W. W. Jacobs ("The Monkey’s Paw") will turn you white as a sheet. With a skillful introduction to the genre and notes on each story by Sims, The Phantom Coach is a spectacular collection of ghostly Victorian thrills.

Historia
Once a spy for Queen Victoria, James Asher has fought for Britain on every continent, using his quick wits to protect the Empire at all costs. After years of grueling service, he marries and retires to a simple academic’s life at Oxford. But his peace is shattered one night with the arrival of a Spanish vampire named Don Simon. Don Simon can disappear into fog, move faster than the eye can see, and immobilize Asher - and his young bride - with a wave of his hand. Asher is at his mercy, and has no choice but to give his help.

Historia
These four stories test Father Brown in many ways, creating headaches a plenty. However, Father Brown is nothing if not redoubtable and whilst Chesterton's stories are, in his own words, "very slight and improbable", his method is all his own. Bill Wallis captures perfectly the mood and tone of Father Brown in this collection.

Many consider it to be Dennis Wheatley's finest work, which is praise indeed for this world beating novelist. It was a best seller in the 1930s when it first came out, full of 1930s atmosphere, skilfully written and well researched, too - although Wheatley never practiced magic himself, he met with many of the most famous occultists of his day to make the book as authentic as possible. In The Devil Rides Out, the Duke de Richleau and a friend find that one of their number is missing from a reunion, and it turns out that he has fallen under the influence of a black magic sect.

The King in Yellow is a collection of stories interwoven loosely by the elements of the play, including the central figure himself.

Decent
Great fun as always, though perhaps not as good as the last collection. Although I did appreciate the novelettes. It was nice to have some longer stories. These tales are such a fascinating record of American attitudes toward immigrants in the postwar era. On to the next volume.

What happened to the rest of this collection?
Thoroughly enjoyed these stories, far more than I expected to. But I cannot overstate my dismay upon finding that books 4 and 5 of this collection are not available. i hope that is remedied soon.

I'd listen to the last 2 vol. if audible was brave
There is a considerable amount to like in these books and considering the time period and audience (editors) it is not at all surprising that there is also a considerable amount of stereotyping, xenophobia and some real byproducts of racism on display. There have been allegations of Lovecraft level racism and that simply isn't true, Lovecraft got much, much worse when he set his mind at it. In reality, Seabury Quinn would likley have has a much different output if it wasn't for the editors. certain elements in his writing and stories that went unpublished before his death showed that there was alot to him that remained subject to his need to make a living. y giving the audience what they would pay for. This is also why he gets accused of being formulaic; just like the writers of modern TV, they write the content that pays. I recommend for a light read. (tolerance, forbearance and even forgiveness are required)

NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO
The Dark Angel: The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin is the third volume of the Jules de Grandin audio series.
Once again, de Grandin and Dr Trowbridge get involved in more paranormal cases.
I have listened to all three volumes of the series and this one is, in my opinion, sadly lacking in the quality department. I actually found myself skipping stories.

Boring and Offensive
If you’ve read any of the other volumes in this series then you don’t need to read this one. With the possible exception of “The bloody mummy”.the plots are similar and formulaic. Helpless white girl endangered sinister, satanic, foreigner.
If you haven’t read any of S. Quinn’s stories BE WARNED, they are exceedingly racist.
This is not an exaggeration! Even Irish, and French could be offended by this book. I have learned new racial slurs from this book!
That being said, it is an article of it’s time, and I might over look such horrific racism, if the storytelling was original or compelling, I. e. Lovecraft. However, often his racism is at the center of the plot and the colored person or foreigner is inherently evil.

Extremely Racist
Many stories in the heyday of Pulp/Weird Tales were racist, but these stories are so overtly racist they make Lovecraft's racism look tame.
