John Silence is a doctor turned detective who uses his psychic training to solve strange cases sent to him by acquaintances. This collection features all six stories Algernon Blackwood wrote featuring the character. Silence is an early example of the occult detective trope, whose influence was later seen in media like The X-Files and the 1999 film Sleepy Hollow.
