A collection of Arthur Conan Doyle's mystical stories—a little-known side of the writer's work, who, while working on the Holmes series, developed a serious interest in spiritualism and occult research. The atmosphere in these stories is far from "Gothic with creaking floorboards"—they terrify with everyday objects and situations that gradually turn into nightmares. The book includes the stories "The Chamber of Horrors," "The Silver Mirror," "The Leather Funnel," "The Captain of the Polar Star," and others.
A mysterious figure hides in a dark corner, a harmless (but mysterious) object evokes dreams of torture, a ship lost in the ice becomes a battleground for the captain's sanity, and an ancient trophy harbors someone else's madness. In these stories, Arthur Conan Doyle trades his role as detective writer for that of a mystic who almost seriously believes in the supernatural and introduces the reader to this strange world. His stories are free of creaking floorboards and clanking chains, but they are more frightening than the misty tombs of Highgate—for the source of their fear is ordinary things (and the human mind confronted with the inexplicable).
The book includes the stories "The Chamber of Horrors," "The Silver Mirror," "The Leather Funnel," "The Captain of the Polar Star," and others. The edition features classic artwork by Yulia Shironina.
