Tales of Terror and Mystery

"The whole world knows Sherlock Holmes and his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Yet how many know Conan Doyle's other creations, inhabitants of worlds of adventure, surprise and, sometimes, mind-bending horror? Never before published in the United States, this volume presents some of Conan Doyle's unduly neglected masterworks of suspense. Each begins in a quietly factual way which makes all the more dramatic the crescendo of fear and puzzlement which ensues as each startling new circumstance is revealed. Even without his supremely logical brain child, the author shows that his tales are unbeatable for thrills and excitement. This is your chance to discover a new facet of the master's ability to dazzle and mystify."--from jacket.
