Sinopsis

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.

    Some scents linger far beyond the body… straight into the soul. 
    In the narrow bylanes of an old town, the air carries an unusual fragrance—sweet, musky, ancient. It comes from a small, forgotten shop, where an old man sells attar that no one remembers buying... but everyone who smells it, changes. 
    When Prashant, a mild-mannered government employee, follows the strange scent one evening, he disappears without a trace—only to return five days later, strangely quiet, eyes hollow, and mind blank. What begins as a curious case of memory loss turns into a slow spiral into terror as his family notices the subtle shifts: the way mirrors fog around him, how dogs growl in his presence, and how the scent of attar never leaves his skin. 
    As dreams bleed into waking life and whispers echo in locked rooms, one question hangs in the air like perfume: 
    What did Prashant inhale that night… and what part of him never came back? 
    A haunting blend of psychological dread and supernatural mystery, Smell of Souls will make you question what's real, what's remembered, and what's left behind.

    Zhenia is adrift in Los Angeles, pregnant with a baby her husband doesn't want, while her Russian grandmother and favorite person in the world is dying on the opposite coast. She's deeply disconnected from herself and her desires when she gets a strange call from Paul, a psychic medium who usually specializes in channeling dead pets, with a message from the other side. Zhenia's great-grandmother Irina, a Russian Revolutionary, has approached him from a cloud of ancestral grief, desperate to tell her story and receive absolution from Zhenia. 
     
     
     
    As Irina begins her confession with the help of a purgatorial chorus of grieving Russian ghosts, Zhenia awakens to aspects of herself she hadn't been willing to confront. But does either woman have what the other needs to understand their predicament? Or will Irina be stuck in limbo, with Zhenia plagued by ancestral trauma, and her children after her? 
     
     
     
    Ferociously funny and deeply moving, Mother Doll forces us to look at how painful secrets stamp themselves from one generation to the next. Katya Apekina's second novel is a family epic and a meditation on motherhood, immigration, identity, and war.

Donna, who knows a little too much and takes a little too much pleasure in Pete’s pain, seems one step ahead, and Pete’s dying to know why.

But what if her wild plan is the only way to stop them for good? Can he trust someone who clearly wants to watch him suffer?
