Tales of Horror and the Supernatural

Unique collection of short storiesA 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. About the Author Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is the celebrated author of many adventure novels, including The Lost World and The Poison Belt, and the creator of the hugely popular detective stories of Sherlock Holmes.
