Thanks for the fix! Yeah again, somebody on FB called me out on it and I did a double take, cause I thought I had it right. Too much Arkham Asylum on the brain, I guess.

Thank you, everybody for reading and good luck in the giveaway!

Thanks for the great post, Ed. I fixed Stephen Strange’s name. Can’t believe I missed that as I’m a fan of Earth’s sorceror supreme from way back when…

As a fearful child, I clung to the mythology of the monster hunter as my protectors against the monsters of the night. Reading this was a wonderful trip down Memory Lane and a great culmination of the great monster hunters of the past. Also, you mentioned The Monster Squad, which remains the biggest influence on my young life.

Can’t WAIT to read Trevolas.

I confess I’m not a Supernatural fan. I specifically started watching the show to prepare for this list and I couldn’t get through the first season. The boys and their dad seemed to be in the strictly two fisted vein to me, but I could be misinformed.

And somebody pointed this out….I accidentally typed Victor Strange when I meant Stephen Strange. Wrong character and wrong company!

Thanks, Kenneth.

And thanks to William Meikle, who pointed out the first glaring ommission in this list –

William Hope Hodgson’s Edwardian occult investigator, Thomas Carnacki, who solved mysteries in the Holmesian vein, employing his electric pentacle against sinister phantasms and matching wits with do-badders both mundane and supernatural.
