Giving Attribution Where It's Due

This is a blog for my forays into "literary sleuthing," where I try to track down author attributions and original publication sources for unattributed (usually public domain) works.

Sometimes I investigate quotes, and other literary mysteries, too.

My Current Cases

The Occult Detectives of Victor Rousseau #

Victor Rousseau produced three occult detective series in the early decades of the twentieth century, and wrote a few standalone tales, too. I'm collecting links and/or making transcriptions of all the stories from these series that I can find.

Selected Stories of Austin Philips #

I'm collecting as many of the Post Office detective and Post Office supernatural short stories of Austin Philips as I can find online. Possibly some non-post office crime stories, too.
