The luminous fog drifted slowly off the table, and wavered and flickered across the room. There in the farther and darkest corner it gathered and glowed, hardening down into a shining core. Although best known for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, and despite claiming he preferred his historical fiction, during his writing career of over fifty years Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a remarkable number of weird and supernatural tales. With his belief in spiritualism later in life only adding to his passion for the unknown, pulling at this thread of his fiction reveals a writer deeply fascinated in matters of the occult, the uncanny, and the unexplainable. This new volume collects the very best of Doyle' s strange stories and also includes his never-before-reprinted essay on his own spiritual experiences, ' Stranger than Fiction' .
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British writer, physician and spiritualist, world famous today as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Along with detective stories, he wrote numerous tales of historical events and fictional expeditions such as the influential novel of prehistoric discovery The Lost World.
