Sinopsis

In "The Great Keinplatz Experiment and Other Tales of Twilight and the Unseen," Arthur Conan Doyle invites readers into a realm where the boundaries of reality and the supernatural blur. This collection features stories that explore themes of psychic phenomena, spiritualism, and the enigmas of human consciousness. With an engaging narrative style, Doyle blends meticulous scientific inquiry and imaginative storytelling, presenting tales that are rich in psychological depth and moral introspection. The juxtaposition of rationalism and mysticism reflects the late Victorian fascination with the unknown, a context in which Doyle's work frequently resided, often challenging the prevailing scientific paradigms of his time. Conan Doyle, primarily celebrated for his creation of Sherlock Holmes, was a man of diverse interests, from medicine to spiritualism. His own encounters with the occult and his advocacy for psychic research significantly informed the themes of this collection. The stories encapsulate his lifelong quest for understanding beyond the visible world, driven by both personal experiences and an underlying skepticism towards materialism, making these tales not just fictional narratives but also philosophical inquiries. Readers who relish the intersection of mystery and the metaphysical will find "The Great Keinplatz Experiment" particularly rewarding. Doyle's storytelling is both thought-provoking and captivating, inviting an exploration of the unseen forces that may shape our existence. This collection is essential for aficionados of gothic literature and those intrigued by the paranormal, positioning itself as a profound commentary on humanity's eternal quest for knowledge.

Muckross Abbey and Other Stories

Sabina Murray

"I binge-read this book, savoring the gothic creepiness at the heart of each tale. Packed with compelling, nuanced lives and the deaths that haunt them, each story is a séance—an invitation for unsettled spirits to let their presence be known, 'desperate for someone to supply the narrative.' Murray supplies it with great style and an uncanny knowingness, leaving room for our imagination to fill in the suggestive spaces with our own dark dread." —MONA AWAD, author of All's Well 
 
 
 
Sabina Murray has long been celebrated for her mastery of the gothic. Now in Muckross Abbey and Other Stories, she returns to the genre, bringing listeners to haunted sites from a West Australian convent school to the moors of England to the shores of Cape Cod in ten strange tales that are layered, meta, and unforgettable. 
 
   
 
From a twisted recasting of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, to an actor who dies for his art only to haunt his mother's house, to the titular "Muckross Abbey," an Irish chieftain burial site cursed by the specter of a flesh-eating groom—in this collection Murray gives us painters, writers, historians, and nuns all confronting the otherworldly in fantastically creepy ways. With notes of Wharton and James, Stoker and Shelley, now drawn into the present, these macabre stories are sure to captivate and chill.
