Although this first story is fun, I don't consider it among the best of the ones I've read so far.<br /><br />The Isle of Missing Ships is a very fun story with some nasty business involving cannibalism. The White Lady of the Orphanage is another cannibalism story that has some very effective moments. And The House of Horror is a very mean story about a madman disfiguring young women through surgery. On the whole, I've found the series entertaining, although it is mostly formulaic, as many have said.<br /><br />Quinn did write Roads, which is one of my favorite Christmas stories. He definitely had talent.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624614486574035692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-70740309492138108612020-11-23T11:26:01.865-05:002020-11-23T11:26:01.865-05:00Fans of audio books (which I like for travel and w...Fans of audio books (which I like for travel and while painting and modeling) can find quite a bit of Quinn's work online with some poking around. Many of them are unfortunately quite poorly done (the biggest block I've found is all TTS device "robot voice" work) but if you can suffer through the readers the plots hold up well - and I've heard a few I never encountered in text form.Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-38864417343469766182020-11-23T08:32:39.732-05:002020-11-23T08:32:39.732-05:00As a resident of New Jersey (where the Jules de Gr...As a resident of New Jersey (where the Jules de Grandin stories are set), I've been circling the reprints of the Seabury Quinn stories ever since the Bad Books for Bad People podcast (hosted by Jack Guignol and Tenebrous Kate) covered it. Quite an enjoyable episode (if I recall correctly) in a very enjoyable and informative series!<br /><br />https://badbooksbadpeople.com/mini-episode-12-seabury-quinns-jules-de-grandin-stories-forgotten-weird-tales<br /><br />(And, yes, Jack Guignol is the fella behind "Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque.")David Haraldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226110545192539855noreply@blogger.com
