Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn. Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales 's original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades. Collected for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin , edited by George Vanderburgh, presents all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero. The second volume, The Devil's Rosary , includes all of the Jules de Grandin stories from "The Black Master" (1929) to "The Wolf of St. Bonnot" (1930), as well as a foreword by Stefan Dziemianowicz. Review: I am excited and happy and in love with a little French doctor... - I simply fell in love with Jules De Grandin and his VERY good friend Dr. Trowbridge as the two doctors fight ghosts, werewolves, satanists and foreign cults in the name of justice and goodness. These stories were written by Seabury Quinn for Weird Tales magazine between 1925 and 1951. The stories vary in quality, may have been inspired by various sources, and might not be politically correct to modern ears, (what will people think of US in fifty or a hundred years!) but it was the characters themselves I personally enjoyed so much. Jules De Grandin is a very singular individual and vastly entertaining. Jules and Dr. Trowbridge live, together, in the town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. I can only assume the town would have been completely overrun by zombies, werewolves and criminals to the point of apocolypse, were it not for the lucky chance that brought Jules there to deal with these matters. He himself might be the first to say so, for there is no lack of confidence in the little blonde French doctor and with the back-up of his companion he is able to help the local police solve many crimes, whether they originate from the mystical or the the simply depraved. I actually started reading the series of collected stories on volume two by chance but I am so excited to know so many future adventures await me! I didn't know how it would go at first, some stories are better than others, but when I read "Trespassing Souls" a tale in which a mysterious stranger arrives to revive to life a women the two doctors had just declared dead, that I knew this was going to be my new thing. P.S. The more I read these stories and the more I consider the time at which they were written I certainly think Seabury Quinn has been heavily mined and has been an inspiration to just about anything that came after him. He is more borrowed from than a borrower, I think. I have to read more about the author and his life. Review: Fun pulp horror-adventure. - Like the first edition, this is a fun collection of horror pulp stories from a once popular author. Seabury Quinn may not have the lasting fame of Robert Howard of HP Lovecraft, but he knows how to write a good tale. The layout is familiar, basically a Holmes & Watson with Jules De Grandin as Holmes (And maybe a little Poirot?) and his friend/host Trowbridge as Watson. De Grandin specializes in supernatural occurrences, and more horrific human ones. This collection has a lot of familiar horror tropes (Zombies and Mummies of a sort make an appearance), as well as human traffickers, torturers, and mystical eastern brotherhoods. A lot of tropes you know (even in the 1930s when these we written), but Quinn knows how to make a good story despite the lack of groundbreaking originality. The stories are fun reads. Some are a little formulaic (young lovers in peril show up alot), and the Trowbridge character is not nearly as interesting as Watson is (He literally sees De Grandin fight supernatural evils time after time, yet refuses to believe...). So not perfect, but still very entertaining, especially for October and autumn reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,250,045 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #589 in Fantasy Anthologies #1,744 in Horror Collections & Anthologies (Books) #13,183 in Paranormal Fantasy Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | ## Images ![The Devil's Rosary: The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, Volume Two - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mUmp5ksaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am excited and happy and in love with a little French doctor... *by N***T on July 19, 2018* I simply fell in love with Jules De Grandin and his VERY good friend Dr. Trowbridge as the two doctors fight ghosts, werewolves, satanists and foreign cults in the name of justice and goodness.

Seabury Quinn was the most popular author in Weird Tales Magazine, even more so than Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, and these tales demonstrate why. Don't read them all at once, but stretch them out over a few weeks (they are formulaic, and can lead to a sort of "seen-one-seen-'em-all feeling). You'll enjoy the 90 year trip back in time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49741097-the-devils-rosary-the-complete-tales-of-jules-de-grandin](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49741097-the-devils-rosary-the-complete-tales-of-jules-de-grandin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
