Synopsis

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.

    A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN. 
     
     
     
    When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands. 
     
     
     
    It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death. 
     
     
     
    Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind. 
     
     
     
    But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers. 
     
     
     
    And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear. 
     
     
     
    A monster she once called Daddy.

    "The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood is a chilling tale of supernatural terror, first published in 1910. Set in the remote Canadian wilderness, the story follows a hunting party led by Dr. Cathcart and his companions as they venture deep into the forest. When one of their guides, the experienced but superstitious Defago, begins to act strangely, the group finds themselves confronted by an ancient, malevolent force: the Wendigo, a legendary creature born of isolation and hunger. 
    Blending eerie atmosphere, psychological tension, and vivid descriptions of nature’s vastness, Blackwood crafts a haunting exploration of the human psyche and the primal fears that lurk in the wild. This classic tale is a cornerstone of supernatural horror and a must-read for fans of the genre.

    They’re feeding on you too. 
      
    A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.  
      
    From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns, from the claustrophobia of the COVID-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.  
      
    Packed full of humanity, humour and, above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror’s finest authors.
