Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Spiral down dimly lit streets liined with madmen and their black deeds, through cold twists of catacombs, and across a sea that strikes with tight, angry fists. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, three tales--"The Cask of Amontillado, " "The Black Cat, " and "The Fall of the House of Usher"--speak to the hidden places within us all. 20 full-color illustrations.

Tales of Terror and Mystery – Arthur Conan Doyle's Remarkable Short StoriesIt is no secret that Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the greatest masters of storytelling in the late 19th and early 20th century – a fact seen particularly through his depiction of the legendary Sherlock Holmes, a fictional private detective that needs no introduction. While having been published near the end of his career, the set of macabre, yet enchanting stories included in Tales of Terror and Mystery, show a somewhat more exciting and diverse picture through Sir Conan Doyle's masterful word crafting, mixing seven exciting stories of mystery with six unique stories of terror that will transport you to a world of fascinating encounters and unexpected plot twists, where you will need to ponder deep before finding the secret behind the events unfolding in each tale.Although Sir Conan Doyle mostly gained his widespread fame and recognition due to Sherlock Holmes, his other works, such as Tales of Terror and Mystery, have been often pointed out by critics to be similarly valuable, if not even more intriguing and complex than stories featuring the great detective. In Tales of Terror and Mystery, each story begins in a calm and gradual fashion, the pieces of the puzzle slowly being set in place to introduce the reader to an entire world of complicated intrigue and fascinating characters, with the solutions to the various mysteries included being quite difficult to pinpoint, even near the end.Though the terror stories are somewhat different from modern terror tales, the author seemed to have imposed a very unique and refined writing style that, in some cases, even resembled the works of famed author Edgar Allen Poe. In fact, The New Catacomb – considered one of Conan Doyle's best stories, is among the best examples in this regard.
