Produktbeschreibung
Classic chilling fiction from a master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle needs no introduction. His work-particularly notable for the creation of the great fictional detective Sherlock Holmes-has guaranteed him a place in the pantheon of the most renowned storytellers of any age. Like many of his contemporaries Doyle wrote fiction with a wide range of themes, from crime and science fiction to historical romance, and the ever popular genre of the supernatural and strange naturally appeared within his portfolio. Fortunately, Doyle was so prolific that there is a substantial number of these stories-all executed with the consummate skill for which he is famous-and they have been gathered together here within a special three volume set by Leonaur. In this first volume, available in softcover and quality hardcover for collectors, readers will discover the novella, 'The Maracot Deep,' two novelettes 'Lot No. 249' and 'John Barrington Cowles' together with sixteen short stories including, 'The Beetle Hunter,' 'The Sealed Room,' 'The Nightmare Room,' 'The Terror of Blue John Gap,' 'A Pastoral Horror' and many others
