Mango Books mostly publishes crime non-fiction, so this probably explains why you've not heard of them before. The O'Donnell book is their first foray into supernatural-related territory and I assume it happened because Richard Whittington-Egan is primarily a crime writer. I don't know whether the books are distributed in Australia: you can get them from Amazon UK, but that might not help. Adam Wood who runs Mango Books is very nice: you could just email him and ask. Richard Whittington-Egan - The Master Ghost Hunter: A Life of Elliott O'Donnell (Mango 2019 [softcover]: originally 2016 [hardcover]). Acknowledgements
To Meet Mr. Elliott O'Donnell The Making of a Ghost Hunter The Apprentice Ghost Hunter Hibernian Haunting New World Ghosts Hitting the Ghost Trail Home A Ghostly Farewell to New York Spectral London in the Nineties Ghost Writer The Cornish Ghost Coast Spooks in the Smoke Spirited Times The Ghostly dogs of War Ghosts and Ghouls Phantasmal Gore Dread and Drolls Lonely Road The Twilight Zone Passing the Gate
Appendix: List of Stories by Elliott O'Donnell Bibliography IndexBeen giving this a preliminary flick through. Thought this might be of interest to our MRJ contingent.

I bought a digital copy as soon as it came out & was in no way disappointed. Sadly it was Richard Whittington-Egan's last book...

Still picking out bits here and there before making a proper start on it. Am delighted there's an Appendix listing "[Ghost] Stories by Elliott O'Donnell" 852 in all, albeit there's much repetition, and even then, RWE seems to have overlooked O'Donnell's Creeps contributions, including The Ghost Table which used to upset the more excitable Lovecraft bores so. It seems 1958's Trees of Ghostly Dread is the last original collection, everything that came afterward is recycled Greatest Hits.
