Beschreibung

Collected Short Stories, Volume 1 opens a multi-volume series gathering Arthur Conan Doyle's rich array of short fiction beyond the Sherlock Holmes canon. In this first volume, readers are introduced to Doyle's early storytelling mastery across genres – mystery, adventure, horror, and humor. These tales, written in the 1880s, showcase Doyle's youthful imagination and range: from eerie supernatural pieces set on stormy moors to swashbuckling adventures in far-off lands. Each story brims with Victorian atmosphere and Doyle's gift for suspenseful pacing. Notable early entries might include "The Captain of the Pole-Star," a chilling Arctic ghost story, and "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement," a speculative tale inspired by the Mary Celeste mystery. Volume 1 thus serves as an engaging primer to Doyle's lesser-known works, highlighting the formative themes and narrative flair that would later cement his fame.

    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.

    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    Take a step. Take a bow. Look around, how far you've come.  
    For an immortal, the mortal world has little to offer them. Except, perhaps, perspective.  
    Descent from the Mountain is a short story set in the A Thousand Li universe. This story can be read as a stand-alone. There are no spoilers for later works and the short story does not include individuals from the main series.

    Suspended in mid-air high above the planet, the stratoship Perseus should still be moving—but it isn’t. Meteorologist Lawton and his crew find themselves trapped in a silent, motionless bubble of sky, where the clouds have frozen beneath them and the air outside has become a strange, alien theatre. Inside the ship, tensions mount, minds unravel, and something unseen creeps across the outer hull in creeping tendrils of life. 
    In this golden-age thriller from Frank Belknap Long, the fight isn’t just for survival against a terrifying alien vegetation; it’s a battle of human instincts, fragile alliances and the terror of staring into the unknown. As hours stretch into endless moments, Lawton must face what it means to live when the world won’t move—and what it means to stay sane when reality itself begins to shift. 
    With a haunting narration by Phil Thompson, this edition immerses you in a high-altitude nightmare where the sky becomes a trap, and the only escape may lie deep inside the human heart.

    Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in experiments.[note She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816 Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued for regarding it as the first true science-fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. The novel has had a considerable influence on literature and on popular culture; it has spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays.Since the publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" has often been used, erroneously, to refer to the monster, rather than to his creator/father.
