The theme of duality in literature arose in folklore and mythology (for example, in the Elder Edda). The authors introduce doubles into the works for various purposes: identity research, symbolization of internal conflict, criticism and self-reflection, creating tension and intrigue. The image of the double became popular in the era of romanticism. This collection presents both popular stories “William Wilson” by E. A. Poe, “The Secret Accomplice” by J. Conrad, and little-known stories by G. James, J. K. Bangz, W. J. Wintley, E. Blackwood, J. Conrad, A. Beers, F. M. Crawford, E. J. Bulver-Lytton, B. Stoker. The split personality, the terrible stories of twins; a sudden meeting with a person, one in one similar, who pursues the main character, leads to a terrible ending - such variations of the plot about the doppelganger reader will find on the pages of this book.

The stories “Private Life”, “The Horror of Twins” and “Trap” have been translated into Russian for the first time.
