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 three 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.TALES INCLUDED in this ANNOTATED EDITION: The Captain of the Polestar - The Bully of Brocas Court - The Leather Funnel - The Brown Hand - The Speckled Band - The Devil's Foot - The Terror of Blue John Gap - A Pastoral Horror - The Silver Hatchet - The Striped Chest - John Barrington Cowles - The Horror of the Heights - Lot No. 249 - De Profundis - The Ring of Thoth - Through the Veil -Playing With Fire - How it Happened

'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 stories. Many of Doyle's writings are recognized 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," in a scholarly edition for the first time. 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.

Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.
