Gerald Verner’s thirty-one standalone novels showcase the range of his crime writing. Published from 1933 to 2011 (including posthumous editions), the books feature a parade of criminals, detectives, and mysteries operating outside his established series. Titles like The Black Hunchback, The Ghost Man, and The Vampire Man lean into the pulpier side of crime fiction, while others like The Poisoner and I Am Death take a darker tone.
The Dragon Princess of Adventure (2011) represents the most recent posthumous publication, part of the continuing effort to bring Verner’s complete body of work back into print.
