Sinopsis

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.

    Melodies In Black Ink is a collection of darkly captivating short tales, each inspired by the melodies that move us, the lyrics that linger, and the stories hidden between the notes. 
    Music has the power to transport us, to spark memories, stir emotions, and tell stories beyond the lyrics. In this unique collection, twenty-six original short stories take inspiration from some great songs, weaving tales of love and loss, hope and heartbreak, mystery and magic. From whispered ballads to anthems that demand to be heard, each story transforms melody into narrative, crafting unforgettable characters and moments shaped by the rhythms of life. Whether you find yourself lost in a haunting melody, swept up in the euphoria of a chorus, or caught in the tension of a single note, these stories promise to resonate long after the final page. 
    A must-read for lovers of music and storytelling alike, because behind every great song, there’s a story waiting to be told.

    ***Highly Commended in the Ellipsis Zine Flash Collection Contest*** 
    A mother watches her son grow from a sweet child into a troubled adult... 
    A jilted lover finds hope one magical evening... 
    A cobbler breathes life back into a pair of lucky shoes... 
    Animal Behaviour titles each of its short stories with animal facts, but the experiences they describe are very much human. The cast of characters is diverse but the world they inhabit is universal: one in which all of us will recognise fragments of our own lives in some form, an echo of our shared humanity. 
    This second edition contains six new stories, unpublished anywhere else. 
    “Bold in voice, rich in metaphor, daring in approach, Animal Behaviour is a startling debut. In these very short tales, Amanda McLeod demonstrates an uncanny understanding of life and the living. By turns strange, beautiful, aching and transcendent, these stories and the humans how inhabit them will leave their mark on your mind and heart long past the final page. Highly recommended.” 
    —Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018

    About this book: 
    Zimmermann, the author's fictional friend and (sympathetic) terror of his neighbourhood, never tires of trying the nerves of his fellow citizens and his unfortunate friend with ever new and always crazy ideas and deeds. Whether as a driving licence applicant, inventor, lion tamer or mere tourist, he amazes or frightens his fellow citizens and - hopefully - leaves the reader smiling and satisfied. 
    In this volume, you will find 28 amusing and extremely exciting stories about the interesting, heavy-soldering and 'good-for-nothing' Zimmermann. 
    Narrator: Ryan Neural (AI)
