Beschreibung:
Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Odilon Redon, Arnold Böcklin and Ricardo Arredondo Calmache. The horror Doyle wrote when Holmes was not looking: a surgeon's night call, a special train that vanishes between two stations, an aeroplane too high for safety, and the pit under the earth. He wanted to be remembered for history and spiritualism, and produced instead some of the coldest short terror in English — the Brazilian Cat and the Leather Funnel do not need a detective. Fifty-one plates by Goya and Fuseli, from cudgel duels to a radiant figure beset by dark spirits, give these tales the nightmares they deserve.
