Unique collection of short stories
A master of many literary genres, Arthur Conan Doyle excelled particularly in the short-story form, and was acclaimed in his day as much for his detective stories as for his thrilling tales of mystery and the uncanny. While the adventures of Sherlock Holmes have become part of our collective imagination, these stories - concerned with ghosts and other horrific creatures, obscure scientific experiments and unexplained phenomena - are now unjustly neglected.
Presented in a fully annotated edition - the only currently available to English readers - this collection of Conan Doyle's complete tales of horror and the supernatural will offer the opportunity to discover a lesser-known side of this master storyteller's ability to surprise and enthrall.
Contents: The Brown Hand, The Usher of Lea House School, B. 24, The Great Keinplatz Experiment, Cyprian Overbeck Wells, Playing with Fire, The Ring of Thoth, The Los Amigos Fiasco, How It Happened, Lot No. 249, De Profundis, The Lift, The Horror of the Heights, The Leather Funnel, The New Catacomb, The Case of Lady Sannox, The Terror of Blue John Gap, The Brazilian Cat, The Lost Special, The Beetle-Hunter, The Man with the Watches, The Japanned Box, The Black Doctor, The Jew's Breastplate, The Nightmare Room, Notes and notes on the text.
Tales of Horror and the Supernatural is part of Alma Supernatural Short Stories Collection which includes: Fantastic Tales by Fitz-James O'Brien, Supernatural Short Stories by Sir Walter Scott, Supernatural Tales by Robert Louis Stevenson and Tales of the Supernatural by Charles Dickens
