An army of fundamentalist cadavers! The Potato Homunculus! Decapitated heads that sing! Tong wars! Bacon sex! German Christmas demons! What hope does mankind have in the face of this paranormal perversion? Absolutely none! But cold hard facts have never stopped the White Street Society! This band of 19th century gentleman adventurers have dedicated most of their leisure time to investigating the paranormal, the supernatural, and the unexplained; often with violence, occasionally with science. This volume collects four of their best-known "The Hairy Ghost," "The Corpse Army of Khartoum," "The Yellow Peril," and a brand new adventure, "The Christmas Spirits." Ranging from Gilded Age New York to British-controlled Sudan with its ruined desert city of Khartoum, these stories will inform, illuminate, and alarm. The Tales of the White Street Society were originally published by Pseudopod, the audio fiction site. They are collected here as short stories due to popular demand, along with a new story entitled “The Christmas Spirits” that has never before been seen anywhere else and is sure to curl your mustache. You will come away from this slim volume with an understanding of the supernatural wonders that these bold men of the 19th century were compelled to shoot, poison, burn, and beat to death with shovels.

Grady Hendrix is the author of the novels Horrorstör, about a haunted IKEA, and My Best Friend's Exorcism, which is like Beaches meets The Exorcist, only it's set in the Eighties. He's also the author of We Sold Our Souls, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and the upcoming (July 13!) Final Girl Support Group! He's also the jerk behind the Stoker award-winning Paperbacks from Hell, a history of the 70's and 80's horror paperback boom, which contains more information about Nazi leprechauns, killer babies, and evil cats than you probably need. And he's the screenwriter behind Mohawk, which is probably the only horror movie about the War of 1812 and Satanic Panic. You can listen to free, amazing, and did I mention free podcasts of his fiction on Pseudopod. He also does a podcast called Super Scary Haunted Homeschool. If you're not already sick of him, you can learn all his secrets at his website.
