The Experiences of Flaxman Low [first edition]

One of 500 copies produced. Limited reprinting of the 1899 original. Collects all 12 of the Flaxman Low psychic detective ghost stories first published in Pearson's Magazine in 1898 and 1899. Low is credited with being the first psychic detective of fiction, with Flaxman Low used as a pseudonym for “one of the leading scientists of the” Victorian era, whose real name is not disclosed in the stories. He was an accomplished athlete in his youth and has turned his interests to a scientific study of the occult. From 1898-1899 press baron Cyril Arthur Pearson published six Flaxman Low stories in his monthly Pearson's Magazine, though the authors were disconcerted to find the tales promoted by Pearson as "real". The collected work was published as Ghosts: Being the Experiences of Flaxman Low in 1899.
