Sinopse

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.

    Someone at a party describes you as an “indoor kind of girl.” What does that even mean? You don’t know, but you spend the following week obsessing about it. You watch three seasons of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ in two days. You get a pet turtle. You absent-mindedly paint what ends up looking like your high school’s football coach, but naked. You go backpacking in Australia for a few months. You try speaking with a New York accent in public, just to see if people like that version of you better. The comment still haunts you. An “indoor kind of girl.” You feel like you’re that person, but you’re not that person.

    A new collection of stories by one of America's greatest writers 
     
     
     
    These new, recent, and reformulated stories by Joyce Carol Oates showcase a wide range of crime fiction and psychological suspense. A young, insecure woman finds her relationship changing as she grows more and more dependent on a man who likes to take her on long walks beside a dangerously roaring creek. Another woman, nervous around men, not quite knowing how to act when paid a compliment, becomes flustered when a doctor suggests they go out for coffee, or possibly a drink. She finally decides that she will join him when he suggests they meet at his home. A man is so forgetful that his wife panics and yells into his phone, asking where their daughter has gone. A young man is curious to see why sirens have filled the night and the police arrest him, beginning an unimaginable nightmare. A woman resents that a colleague has achieved greater success and thinks she ought to do something about it. 
     
     
     
    It is impossible to know where a story by the creative genius of Joyce Carol Oates will end and what frightening paths will lead to that end.
