3.0 out of 5 stars
15 well-written short stories about the strange & mysterious, Jun 17 1999
This review is from: The Best Supernatural Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle (Paperback)
Arthur Conan Doyle is most famous for his stories about Sherlock Holmes, however he wrote numerous other short stories and novels. The Best Supernatural Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle collects 15 of his better occult/supernatural stories. If you're not used to 19th century English as the British used to speak it you may find it a little slow going, however it's still quite good and I think you should give it a try. It is interesting to note that Doyle's writing style seems VERY similar to H.P. Lovecraft's. Since Doyle was already dead by the time Lovecraft began writing I can only surmise that Lovecraft learned something from reading Doyle's works. If you're a fan of Lovecraft I can safely say you'll like this book. If you don't like Lovecraft than you should probably spend your money on something else.
