Sinossi

This story focuses on a well-known theme: the danger of making a pact with the Devil. In this story, a Hawaiian man called Keawe purchases a bottle in which resides a tiny imp. The imp is capable of granting any wish, but the cost of owning such a powerful object is very high, as Keawe finds, to his cost. Stevenson has given this age-old theme a fascinating twist, making this a compelling and disturbing tale.

    From the beloved author behind Sherlock Holmes, a collection of fourteen exhilarating tales full of mummies, ghosts, adventure, and more. 
     
    Best known as the creator of super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle also wrote thrilling tales of the supernatural and the corruption of technology. His sharp wit and chillingly detailed writing are at their peak in this diverse collection of adventures, ranging from the cunning escapades of a wartime strategist extraordinaire in “Danger!” to the gripping story of one explorer’s fatal journey into the skies in “The Horror of the Heights.” 
     
    Every reader who accepts Conan Doyle’s invitation to “come through the magic door” discovers a world in which the senses are a thin veneer over an unsettling psychological and spiritual realm, a realm in which possibilities have no limits. This volume presents fourteen forgotten masterpieces by one of last century’s most popular writers.

    Kay Carrera sees ghosts. And when the dead turn to her for help, she just can't say no. 
    Mr. Peter has lived across the street long before Kay moved into her house, and over the decades the collection of old washing machines, lawn mowers, and refrigerators in his front and back yard has reached the point where it's nearly impossible to find the front door. The man is an eccentric recluse, but how can anyone dislike a kindly person who loves old pottery and dinnerware, and slips Taco, the cat, chicken sandwiches every chance he gets? 
    Evidently someone disliked him—disliked him enough to kill him. 
    Was the killer one of the frustrated neighbors? Mr. Peter's nephew? The delivery man? Or someone else? Mr. Peter's ghost won't rest until his murderer is brought to justice, and neither will Kay.

    John Robinson seemed to have it all. A loving wife, two beautiful daughters, and a growing fortune in the 1800's banking industry. That was until a phantom killer slaughtered his family and escaped into the night. Before escaping, John faced his family's killer, but was left with only a distorted memory of who, or what, he saw. 
    Plagued by nightmares of that horrific night, John abandons everything and embarks on a journey into the American West. He is chasing a mysterious and unknown killer on a quest for revenge. But after a decade of coming up empty, a brain tumor is cutting John's life short. It seems his family's killer may never be brought to justice. 
    Years before the murder of John Robinson's family, a legendary bounty hunter, known only as The Vaquero, pursued another monster. The infamous wild west serial killer, Wesley Nelson. Though presumed dead in a wild confrontation, Wesley Nelson's trail of mayhem would echo in the Vaquero's life for years to come. 
    Aided by the ghost (or hallucination) of John's younger brother Jerry, John Robinson and The Vaquero find themselves destined to cross paths and unravel the mystery of a shapeshifting adversary who is stalking the Midwest. 
    Set in an alternate American history, this fast-paced and brutal novel, "The Adversary", blends together genres of horror, science fiction, and the great American Western. It is likely to appeal to readers of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and fans of true crime.
