"Carnacki, the Ghost Finder" by William Hope Hodgson is a collection of supernatural detective stories written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the titular character, Thomas Carnacki, a supernatural investigator who employs various methods, including scientific techniques and ancient rituals, to confront and dispel malevolent entities. The tales often explore themes of the unseen world and the thin veil between reality and the supernatural. The beginning of "Carnacki, the Ghost Finder" introduces the reader to a dinner gathering among friends, where Carnacki prepares to recount an extraordinary tale of his recent ghost-hunting experience. As he sets the stage, he describes a haunting case involving a mysterious Grey Room where unsettling occurrences, such as a locked door slamming and bedclothes being thrown across the room, have led to fears of supernatural forces at play. This first glimpse into Carnacki's world establishes an atmosphere of suspense and curiosity, hinting at the blend of horror and investigative storytelling that characterizes the series.
