Synopsis

Collected Short Stories, Volume 11 continues Arthur Conan Doyle's survey of his own wide-ranging short fiction. In this collection, the focus shifts to tales of intrigue and suspense. Doyle's knack for crime storytelling is on display in several tight plots involving clever deceptions and justice served. There are also humorous exploits – one story might recount the misadventures of bumbling burglars, while another portrays an absurd duel of wits in high society. Volume 4 doesn't shy away from the macabre, either: a few stories venture into darker territory, with twist endings that reveal criminal horrors or ironic fates. For example, a story like "The Silver Hatchet" mixes crime with a touch of the supernatural in a tale of a cursed object causing madness. Overall, this volume provides a thrilling reading experience, oscillating between light-hearted capers and grim mysteries, all unified by Doyle's clear, vigorous prose.

    Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897. It is an epistolary novel with no single protagonist. The narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles. 
    It was mostly written in the 1890s and drew extensively from Transylvanian folklore and history. Some scholars have suggested that the character of Dracula was inspired by historical figures like the Wallachian prince Vlad the Impaler or the countess Elizabeth Báthory, but there is widespread disagreement. Stoker's notes mention neither figure. He found the name Dracula in Whitby's public library while on holiday, thinking it meant devil in Romanian. 
    Dracula is one of the most famous pieces of English literature. Many of the book's characters have entered popular culture as archetypal versions of their characters; for example, Count Dracula as the quintessential vampire, and Abraham Van Helsing as an iconic vampire hunter. The novel, which is in the public domain, has been adapted for film over 30 times, and its characters have made numerous appearances in virtually all media.
