description: Selected and with an Introduction by David Stuart DaviesThis gripping set of tales by the master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle is bound both to thrill and unnerve you.In these twilight excursions, Doyle's vivid imagination for the strange, the grotesque and the frightening is given full rein. We move from the mysteries of Egypt and the strange powers granted by The Ring of Thoth to the isolated ghost-lands of the Arctic in The Captain of the Polestar, we encounter a monstrous creature in The Terror of Blue John Cap and the beings that live above our heads in The Brazilian Cat and The Leather Funnel; and we shudder at the thing in the next room in Lot 249.Sit down in your uneasy chair and enjoy this collection of chillers.Contents:- The Ring of Thoth- The Lord of Chateau Noir- The New Catacomb- The Case of Lady Sannox- The Brazilian Cat- The Brown Hand- The Horror of the Heights- The Terror of Blue John Gap- The Captain of the Polestar- How It Happened- Playing with Fire- The Leather Funnel- Lot No. 249- The Los Amigos Fiacos- The Nightmare Room
