Kate and Hesketh Prichard
Kate and Hesketh Prichard wrote the Flaxman Low stories as “E. & H. Heron” for Pearson’s Magazine in the late 1890s. Their psychic detective predates Carnacki and John Silence, and the cases mix colonial unease with straightforward occult detection.
About
Kate and Hesketh Prichard’s Flaxman Low, among the first occult detectives in fiction, treats haunted houses and psychic traces as problems for a scientist who has turned from athletics to psychical research. The twelve cases from Pearson’s Magazine (1898–1899) mix colonial unease, laboratory scepticism, and Victorian melodrama in a vein quite unlike Carnacki or John Silence.
