Book Synopsis Lot No. 249 and Other Horrors by : Arthur Doyle
Download or read book Lot No. 249 and Other Horrors written by Arthur Doyle and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-16 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is most widely known today for his logical skeptic, Sherlock Holmes, horror aficionados recognize him as the inventor of the malevolent mummy, the writer of one of English literature's best ghost stories, and an early dabbler in Lovecraftian weird fiction. Indeed, Doyle is to the mummy what Stoker is to the vampire, and his tales of pickaxe-wielding serial killers, haunted torture instruments, specters in the sunless North Pole, seductive werewolves, gelatinous monsters in the skies above us, and seances gone awry are just as chilling as Holmes adventures are thrilling. Among its lushly illustrated stories, this annotated collection of Doyle's very best horror stories includes his two famous mummy stories (which were merged to form the plot of the 1932 Boris Karloff film), his aviation spine-tingler "The Horror of the Heights" (which presages Lovecraft beautifully), and his most elegant ghost story, "The Captain of the Polestar," not to mention two of Sherlock Holmes' most terrifying cases. Richly painted with a broad brush, Doyle's supernatural fiction spans a myriad of delightful tropes -- zombies, psychopaths, torture chambers, werewolves, vampires, reincarnations, haunted antiques, rampaging elementals, and more than one old fashioned English ghost -- so whether you are a fan of the Great Detective or tales of the great beyond, you are sure to be pleased.

Book Synopsis The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch by : Arthur Quiller-Couch
Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch written by Arthur Quiller-Couch and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange tales from a master of the short story There can be little doubt that the ideal length for the ghostly yarn is the short story. The writing of shorter fiction is a specific talent and it's finest exponents, M. R. James, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the author of this volume of tales of the bizarre, are well-known to all. Aficionados of the genre know that supernatural fiction was exceptionally popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The proliferation of periodicals at that time offered numerous opportunities for the publication of the ghost stories and the quality of the writing of these justifiably well regarded authors ensured that supernatural fiction entered a 'golden age.' Quiller-Couch, who often published under the distinctive single letter pseudonym 'Q, ' was the archetypal literary man of the age. He may have belonged to an elite, but he was at ease with the writing of novels, short fiction, criticism, non-fiction, poetry and the compiling of anthologies. Indeed, it is widely accepted that Quiller-Couch's most significant achievement was his learned compilation of the huge 'Oxford Book of English Verse.' Those unfamiliar with Quiller-Couch's short fiction will find this special Leonaur collection to be a revelation and those who already know his work will value an volume dedicated solely to his tales of the ghostly and weird. This book contains forty-two masterful stories including 'A Blue Pantomime, ' 'A Dark Mirror, ' 'The Haunted Dragoon, ' 'Not Here, O Apollo, ' 'Oceanus, ' 'Old Aeson' and many more. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The man in black now advanced, and taking one of the cords from his left arm, he bound the woman's hands together. She held them meekly toward him as he did so. Then he took her arm with a rough grip and led her toward the wooden horse, which was little higher than her waist. On to this she was lifted and laid, with her back upon it, and her face to the ceiling, while the priest, quivering with horror, had rushed out of the room. I saw that the rough varlets in attendance had fastened cords to her ankles and secured the other ends to iron rings in the stone floor. My heart sank within me as I saw these ominous preparations, and yet I was held by the fascination of horror, and I could not take my eyes from the strange spectacle."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humour, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imaginative of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is none the less forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true, and that we must readjust our ideas to the new situation. This world of ours appears to be separated by a slight and precarious margin of safety from a most singular and unexpected danger. I will endeavour in this narrative, which reproduces the original document in its necessarily somewhat fragmentary form, to lay before the reader the whole of the facts up to date, prefacing my statement by saying that, if there be any who doubt the narrative of Joyce-Armstrong, there can be no question at all as to the facts concerning Lieutenant Myrtle, R. N., and Mr. Hay Connor, who undoubtedly met their end in the manner described.
Book Synopsis Tales of Terror and Mystery by : Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir
Download or read book Tales of Terror and Mystery written by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Conan Doyle was a prolific writer, and his Sherlock Holmes stories, while the best known of his work, were only a fraction of what he wrote. This book is a collection of twelve short stories broken up into two topics; six stories on terror and six on mystery. Doyle didn't write too many mystery stories that did NOT involve Sherlock Holmes, and these are some of them. As is well-known, Doyle was a fanatic spiritualist, and many of the tales of terror deal with some strange stuff - weird creatures living in the upper atmosphere, for example. Conan Doyle excels at the Short Story department too. Even without Holmes, Doyle's naturally and incredibly talented legendary detective, Doyle rocks this short story arena! Contents: Tales of Terror: 1. The Horror of the Heights 2. The Leather Funnel 3. The New Catacomb 4. The Case of Lady Sannox 5. The Terror of Blue John Gap 6. The Brazilian Cat Tales of Mystery 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Porlock, Watson, is a nom-de-plume, a mere identification mark; but behind it lies a shifty and evasive personality. In a former letter he frankly informed me that the name was not his own, and defied me ever to trace him among the teeming millions of this great city. Porlock is important, not for himself, but for the great man with whom he is in touch. Picture to yourself the pilot fish with the shark, the jackal with the lion—anything that is insignificant in companionship with what is formidable: not only formidable, Watson, but sinister—in the highest degree sinister. That is where he comes within my purview. You have heard me speak of Professor Moriarty?""The famous scientific criminal, as famous among crooks as—""My blushes, Watson!" Holmes murmured in a deprecating voice."I was about to say, as he is unknown to the public."
