intrepid pair's greatest adventures: `A Scandal in Bohemia', `The
Speckled Band', `The Red-Headed League' and `The Final Problem', in
which Doyle famously `killed off' his creation. This is one of
Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume
features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an
exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored
edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and
collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young
and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
Nine spine-tingling stories from the creator of Sherlock Holmes
Mournful cries in an ice-bound sea, a potion that allows the user
to commune with ghosts, an Egyptian priest who cannot die, and a
mesmerist of unrivaled power. Brace yourself for these and other
chilling encounters in The Parasite and Other Tales of Terror. Even
before he created Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle terrified
and delighted readers with tales of suspense, haunted by mysterious
forces that defy rational explanation. These stories capture the
unique draw of the uncanny and the curiosity that compels us all to
ask, "Could it be true?" Presented by the Horror Writers
Association, and introduced by award-winning author Daniel
Stashower, this collection illuminates Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
talent for the macabre and the supernatural. The Parasite and the
other stories in this collection showcase Conan Doyle at his most
inventive, sure to entertain both new readers and his most
dedicated fans.
