The creator of Sherlock Holmes delves into the sphere of the supernatural and unexplained in a collection of chilling stories.

Mediums and mummies, séances and out-of-body experiences: they're all here in tales penned by one of the masters of detective fiction, whose real-life efforts researching the paranormal made him a true believer in spiritualism. In "The Brown Hand," a member of the Psychical Research Society proves the perfect relative to free his uncle, a celebrated surgeon, of the one-handed apparition that haunts him. The titular story tells the tale of a professor at the University of Keinplatz who hopes to take a man's soul out of his body and put it back again, and the macabre fate that awaits him. In "Cyprian Overbeck Wells," an aspiring writer gets a visit from the greatest masters of fiction in every age to assist him with his difficulties. And the execution of a criminal goes drastically wrong in the "Los Amigos Fiasco." These stories and more will draw you into the most compelling mysteries of our earthly experience, and the world beyond it...
"Start a story by Conan Doyle and you cannot stop reading, whether you are ten or sixty." -- Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist
