About

Jimmy Lee ShreeveJimmy Lee Shreeve is an occult crime investigator. As an internationally known esoteric expert and acclaimed gonzo crime author, he is regularly called upon to look into cases of occult crime, ritual murder, and supernatural evil.

As might be expected, much of his time is spent in the seamy sides of towns and cities, and hanging around  in seedy bars and dingy cafes, gathering intelligence and talking to the occult underground, deviant artists, and the criminally inclined. In other words, he associates with the kind of people you wish didn’t exist.

Besides investigating the darkside, Jimmy is the author of a string of top-selling books including Human Sacrifice, Cannibals, Blood Rites, Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook, How To Be Famous, and Hash Brownies. His byline and work has appeared in over a thousand newspapers, magazines and online media all over the world, including The Independent, Financial Times, Sunday Express, The Guardian, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Express, Mail On Sunday, Best Magazine, Chat, How To Spend It, Maxim, Front, and The Sun.

Jimmy has also appeared on talk radio and TV across Europe and the U.S, and is the driving force behind the internet phenomenon that is Doktor Snake.

Jimmy’s hobbies include listening to old skool hip-hop, funk, soul and acid jazz, along with painting and photography. As Jimmy says: “When you’re knee deep in blood, guts and dark esoteric rites, you need to be able to relax.”

Everyone knows that Jimmy is based in Norwich, Eastern England. What they don’t know is that he works and paints from a disused and rundown building close to the River Wensum – which he dubs the “River Shack.” He won’t give you the address as he squats, which suits him just fine. Like he says: “Norwich is a great place to live, it’s Bristol on a shoestring, off the beaten track, cheap and rundown.”

  • When Jimmy was 16, and living in Northampton, he took a job with an antiquarian bookseller and purveyor of rare esoteric texts. Not because he wanted to sell books. But being an aspiring musician at the time he wanted to sell his soul for fame. “I needed to find a Faustian field guide to show me how,” he reveals.
