The Ghoulish Inspector: Omnibus #1

Cowardly and craven readers-- BEWARE! Five revolting tales from Forbes Crawford Richardsons' weird detective zine The Ghoulish Inspector are collected here for the first time! There is no hunter of ghosts more ghastly, no avenger more merciless, and certainly no shrewder a detective than Stapleton Widgewood III-- alias the Checkered Coat Man! Within these cursed pages you will find: "The Swine Priests of Crudwell," "The Toads and the Silver Tea-Kettle," "Death Crypt of the Fungus People," "The Corpse of Puddleshoes Charlie," PLUS the extra-long, never-before-seen novelette, "The Oozing Castle!" About the Ghoulish Inspector: The year is 1907. Professor Stapleton Widgewood III, mild-mannered physicist, retires to his family’s ancient mansion in Crudwell... only to discover the hidden laboratory of his late, Great-Great Grandfather-- an evil, fiendish alchemistre! And worst of all, he finds that the ‘quaint little English village’ of Crudwell is rife with ghosts, graverobbers, and bloodcurdling witch-cults... The Professor decides to take action. He disguises himself in a goblin’s mask and a checkered hat and raincoat… and secretly he skulks off into the foggy night, to prowl the haunted village for its secrets-- and to murder all ghosts, warlocks, witches, and ghouls!
