No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
What is the secret of the house of days? Who are the shadowy figures gathered along an old green road? What is the winged thing seen flitting from an ancient church?
Herald of the Hidden collects ten adventures of the occult detective Ralph Tyler, inspired by William Hope Hodgsonβs Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, Algernon Blackwoodβs John Silence, and Arthur Machenβs Mr Dyson of The Three Impostors.
But Ralph Tyler is different. He is without private means, or any special esoteric knowledge. Sometimes he doesnβt play fair with his clients or his friend, the narrator. He smokes foul cigarettes, slumps in his chair, and wears a threadbare jacket. And heβs from an obscure shire in the darkest heart of England . . .
Mark Valentineβs Ralph Tyler stories first appeared in hard-to-find small press publications. Three of the stories in this volume are previously unpublished, including two newly written for this collection. Along with six further supernatural tales, all the stories are previously uncollected in book form.
