'There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or
something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...'
Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever
produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own
medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in
spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of
Gothic Tales. Many of Doyle's writings are recognised as the very
greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar
wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This
collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle's best Gothic
Tales. Darryl Jones's introduction discusses the contradictions in
Conan Doyle's very public life - as a medical doctor who became
obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to
support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found
articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the
Gothic.
