Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced.

They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over 30 of Conan Doyle's best Gothic tales

Der Störenfried entpuppt sich als Rabe, der den Mann in tiefste Verzweiflung stürzt. Mit seiner markanten Stimme haucht Hans Peter Hallwachs Poes schaurig schönen Erzählungen Leben ein.
