THE EXPERIENCES OF FLAXMAN LOW. Edited by Jack Adrian.
Ashcroft, British Columbia: Ash-Tree Press, 2003. Octavo, cloth. Reprint. Limited to 500 copies. Collects the twelve Flaxman Low psychic detective ghost stories first published in PEARSON'S MAGAZINE in 1898 and 1899. New introduction by editor Jack Adrian. The first book edition of these stories, GHOSTS: BEING THE EXPERIENCES OF FLAXMAN LOW (1899), is rare and only six of the stories were collected in the rather shoddy wartime 1916 reprint edition.

Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, p. 151. Barron (ed), Horror Literature 3-85. Bleiler (1978), p. 99. Reginald 11896.
