Description:

These are stories that initially start out as seeming to have supernatural or occult origins, but mostly end up having natural explanations. But where the occult does come in, is how the title Dream Detective, Moris Klaw, solves them. He asserts that thoughts are things, that murders leave emotional imprints in the ether, from both the victim and the murderer. These can be accessed by a Dream Detective such as Moris Klaw, who typically will sleep in at the scene of the crime or other significant event. He will pick up the psychic imprints which are clues that the criminal cannot do away with or hide.—Kenneth @ Goodreads.

Ten short stories orginally published in “The New Magazine” between April 1913 and January 1914. [Suggest a different description.]

Author Bio for Ward, Arthur Henry

Author Image

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (15 February 1883—1 June 1959), better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is best remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu.

Born in Birmingham, he had an entirely working-class education and early career before beginning to write. His first published work was in 1903, the short story The Mysterious Mummy for Pearson’s Weekly. He made his early living writing comedy sketches for music hall performers and short stories and serials for magazines.

His first Fu Manchu novel, The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu, was serialized from October 1912—June 1913. It was an immediate success with its fast-paced story of Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie facing the worldwide conspiracy of the “Yellow Peril”. The Fu Manchu stories, together with his more conventional detective series characters—Paul Harley, Gaston Max, Red Kerry, Morris Klaw, and The Crime Magnet, made Rohmer one of the most successful and well-paid authors of the 1920s and 1930s.

His final success came with a series of novels featuring a female variation on Fu Manchu, Sumuru.
