Carnacki
Thomas Carnacki is a fictional occult detective created by English fantasy writer William Hope Hodgson. Carnacki was the protagonist of a series of six short stories published between 1910 and 1912 in ''The Idler'' magazine and ''The New Magazine''.
These stories were printed together as ''Carnacki the Ghost-Finder'' in 1913. A 1948 Arkham House edition of ''Carnacki the Ghost-Finder'' edited by August Derleth added three stories: "The Haunted ''Jarvee''", published posthumously in ''The Premier Magazine'' in 1929; "The Hog", published in ''Weird Tales'' in 1947; and "The Find", a previously unpublished story.
== Notes on the series ==
The stories are inspired by the tradition of fictional detectives such as Sherlock Holmes. Carnacki lives in a bachelor flat in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea; the stories are told from a first-person perspective by Dodgson, one of Carnacki's four friends, much as Holmes' adventures were told from Watson's point of view. (The other three friends are Jessop, Arkwright and Taylor). Whereas the Holmes stories never made use of the supernatural except as a red herring, this is the central theme of the Carnacki stories, though five of the stories have non-supernatural endings.
The character of Carnacki was inspired in part by Dr. Hesselius, a supernaturally inclined scientist who appeared in short stories by the Irish fantasy writer Sheridan Le Fanu, notably the early and influential vampire story "Carmilla". Carnacki is also highly reminiscent of Algernon Blackwood's John Silence.
