Sinopsis

In "The Captain of the Polestar, and Other Tales," Arthur Conan Doyle delves into the themes of isolation, human resilience, and the psychological turmoil that arises from environmental extremities. This collection mixes horror, mystery, and adventure through rich, evocative prose interwoven with vivid descriptions of the Arctic landscape. Notably, the titular story explores the interactions between reason and madness, revealing how the unforgiving nature can evoke both camaraderie and deep existential dread, all while showcasing Doyle's ability to craft suspenseful narratives grounded in humanity's struggle against the unknown. Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes, was a writer deeply influenced by his scientific background and his fascination with spiritualism. Having worked as a physician, his keen observations of human behavior and the complexities of mental states feed into the intricacies found in this collection. The stories reflect his empathy for the human condition and often explore the moral ambiguities faced by individuals under duress, mirroring Doyle's own investigations into the potential of the human spirit. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological depth coupled with adventure, as well as for enthusiasts of Conan Doyle's broader body of work. It invites contemplation on the nature of humanity against the stark backdrop of nature's majesty and menace, making it a timeless exploration of our inner selves.

Gear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient Appalachians. 
Folks deep within the Appalachian hollers lean close to the campfire to share stories of the inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange lights darting through the pitch-black night sky. Horrible occurrences, almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy. 
"Tall tales," you might say. 
Tell that to the Flatwoods monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. Or the Goat Man of Louisville—look into his humanoid eyes and let him know you don't believe. And what of those apparitions in Mammoth Cave's Corpse Rock, or the Satan-spawn known as the Jersey Devil that attacked a trolley car? How do you respond when confronted by these mysteries? 
From metaphysical energy that swirls near the Serpent Mound in Ohio to Point Pleasant's Mothman legacy, Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz explore the dark history lurking in the shadows of Appalachia. 
Ready by Mark Muncy, author and expert on the strange with appearances on shows such as Ancient Aliens, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Return of Robert the Doll, and more!
