Beschreibung

Collected Short Stories, Volume 3 presents another treasury of Arthur Conan Doyle's short fiction, highlighting the middle of his career. This volume brings together stories that often carry a moral or philosophical twist. Doyle's narrative craftsmanship shines in tales that range from mysteries solved by uncanny means to heartwarming domestic vignettes. Readers may encounter a supernatural puzzle resolved with a rational explanation, as well as slices of everyday Victorian life imbued with Doyle's gentle humor. Standout pieces include "Lot No. 249," a gripping tale of an Egyptian mummy brought to life (one of the first mummy horror stories in English literature), and "The Los Amigos Fiasco," a satirical piece on the misuse of the electric chair. Whether exploring the uncanny, the technological, or the intimate, Volume 3 underscores Doyle's talent for blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, ensuring each story is memorable.

    In a post-apocalyptic world, Tiva is running for her life when she stumbles across three survivors who save her from a horde of those   things, whatever they are now. The creatures aren’t people anymore. They’re…infected. Struggling to find food, she soon realizes luck was on her side when Russ and his crew welcome her into the safety of their warehouse.    
    It seems not many survivors remain in what’s left of the world, so they figure they’d do better to stick together. Besides, Russ hasn’t known the love of a woman in a long time, and he and Tiva immediately feel the connection.   
    As the days pass, the crew takes turns keeping watch for the undead. Russ and Tiva vow to be there for each other should they get bitten. If the inevitable should happen, it wouldn’t be much of an afterlife, wandering aimlessly and killing innocent people.   
    Will Russ and Tiva get their happily ever after? Or are they destined to be undead like the rest of the world?

    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, the draft was completed on January 22, 1927 and it remained unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

     "I see dead people," it said the doctor jumped startled by the sudden appearance of the reaper. 
     "Ha! Ha! Very funny, boy," said the doctor humourlessly, "This is a friend of yours I hear say hello to him." 
     "I've never met him in life," The reaper the Necromancer said. 
     "Are you serious?" asked Dr Death grimly. 
     "Yes who is he?" replied the Necromancer, "It's starting to look like anyone can kill someone and frame me for it."  
     "That means there is another killer out there it is serious," the coroner grumbled. 
     "The people in blue won't believe you when you tell them it is another killer," said the Necromancer. 
     "Looks like we will have to catch them ourselves, boy," said Dr Death to his son.
