A study in Terror: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Revolutionary Stories of Fear and the Supernatural

by Arthur Conan Doyle, Derrick Belanger (Editor), Chuck Davis (Contributor)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary creation is much more famous than the man himself. Those who do know the name Arthur Conan Doyle tend to know him only as the inventor of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. This two part anthology showcases his lesser know supernatural works.

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.

Reviews

[Geri Schear · Rating 5 out of 5]

If Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were to collaborate with Edgar Allan Poe the result might be A Study in Terror, a fabulous collection of short stories from Derrick Belanger. Offering equal parts thrills and chills, these tales are wonderful addition to the genre. Dr Doyle would heartily approve, I think.

A classic for a reason!

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well, just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads, so dates wrong. Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections.
