Synopsis

Collected Short Stories, Volume 2 continues to showcase Arthur Conan Doyle's versatility with another selection of his short fiction. This volume delves deeper into the 1890s, a period where Doyle experimented boldly with storytelling. Readers will find a mix of adventurous exploits and thought-provoking tales. Military and war stories stand alongside medical dramas and tales of science and invention, reflecting Doyle's varied interests. For instance, one story follows a British soldier's daring act in colonial New Zealand, while another, such as "The Surgeon of Gaster Fell," explores a doctor's unsettling experience in a remote moor (a story cited as an example of Doyle's emerging). Volume 2 also includes lighter fare – romantic sketches and witty social commentaries – balancing the collection's tone. Taken together, these stories illustrate Doyle's growing confidence in shorter fiction, blending adventure, mystery, and a touch of moral insight.

    The ClusterF*ck Collection is it's namesake. It's a collection of works that have no rhyme or reason. Some poems are about love and some are about healing. Some short stories are about trauma and some excerpts are more horror themed. It's a well rounded approach at giving the world a glimpse into my own. As a neurodivergent, Native American and trans author I could not be more proud to bring these parts of me to more people.
