Occult Detective Magazine
"The only magazine dedicated to exploring, extending, and even re-interpreting, the ‘occult detective’ genre. From inquisitive Shinto priests, through terrified French police officers, to South African witch-sniffers and American cyber-adepts, we present weird and horror fiction at its darkest — and sometimes at its most entertaining."
The publication changed its name from "Occult Detective Quarterly" in 2019
Occult Detective Magazine consists of eleven primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book.
