Thomas 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 by the English publisher Eveleigh Nash. A 1947 Mycroft & Moran (an imprint of 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posthumously in The Premier Magazine in 1929; The Hog, published in Weird Tales in 1947; and The Find, a previously unpublished story.
