About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), es quizá el caso paradigmático del escritor que abordó todos los géneros literarios con singular destreza, creando además personajes inolvidables. Sherlock Holmes, en la literatura de crimen y misterio; el profesor Challenger, en la peripecia aventurera, e incluso de ciencia ficción; Sir Nigel y el brigadier Gerard, en la novela y relato de recreación histórica... El presente volumen recoge once relatos de terror y misterio donde Conan Doyle aborda con maestría diferentes temas de la literatura fantástica.
