His creators, the mother-and-son team Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard and Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard (who published as \"E. and H. Heron\"), endowed the Oxford-trained psychologist with the bravery and acumen to tackle every sort of adversary from ghosts, mummies, and vampires to a mushroom mannequin. Both less credulous and less cynical than earlier fictional investigators of the spirit world, Low always triumphs in the end... but not before scientifically demonstrating that even the most outré incidents and situations can't hold a candle to the bizarre capacities of the human mind.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Flaxman Low: Occult Detective | E and H Heron | Paperback | 9780262051651 | New | Sci-Fi \u0026 Fantasy 1700301","offer_id":48307564150936,"sku":"1700301","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51wwXvaWrAL.jpg?v=1773151266","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/flaxman-low-occult-detective","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
