About this book

Set apart from his Sherlock Holmes canon, this collection gathers Arthur Conan Doyle's excursions into fear and the uncanny. Grouped as tales of terror and tales of mystery, the stories range widely: an aviator who climbs to a height no man has reached and finds the sky already inhabited, a surgeon trapped by a jealous scheme in The Case of Lady Sannox, a treasure hunter menaced in an ancient Roman catacomb, and a savage beast prowling an English country house. Doyle proves as at home with dread and the grotesque as with deduction, building suspense through cool, credible narration. The pieces show the range of a writer too often remembered for a single detective. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available.
