Publisher's Summary
Seabury Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of the pulp magazine Weird Tales' original publication run.
His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries - and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!) - captivated for nearly three decades.
Collected for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin presents all 93 published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.

Interesting stories
I enjoyed the stories, but I think stories not written in the early 1900s but based in the early 1900s give authors leeway to be racist and have it brushed away as being the mindset of that time, so I took off a star because of the unnecessary need for the author to keep making racist remarks.
I took another star off because the American doctor who is telling the tales of the great French doctor repeatedly makes the same dumb statements and is narrow minded in each story regardless of all the weird stuff he sees by being the French doctor’s unofficial sidekick. It became way too repetitive.
I almost think this author perceives American doctors as incompetent. Nearly every story the American doctor hears a person recall an experience and his 1st thought is they are crazy, drunk or something equally as ridiculous and wants to medicate. Or he is stumped by one of his patients’ ailments and the French doctor swoops in to save the day.
The narration by Paul Woodson was fantastic!
