Average Rating:
 Rating: - A good collectionWhile not particularly scary, but definitely horrific at times, this collection is surely worthwhile. The settings and character types tend to all be quite similar, usually a young doctor on an ocean-going journey or medical students at a university and the writing style is virtually the same as well; however similar all these traits are, they're absolutely good ones to retheme, as it were. This is a good book to have on hand while going about your own journey, be it air, sea, or highway. Rating: - The master in horror's fine horror fiction revealedSir Arthur Conan Doyle is most famous for his Sherlock Holmes investigative short stories; but in fact he also was a master of the form in horror fiction, as THE BEST HORROR STORIES OF ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE proves. From supernatural settings to psychology horror and mysteries, a great diversity of theme, approach and subject is demonstrated in short stories which excel in high drama and intrigue.

Read More Rating:  - Good but not good enoughThe Stories taken from the "Tales of Terror and Mystery"tion are good but the others are quite horrible. Also the version I have has 1 story missing "The Confession" and a fantastic tale from "T&M" is not part of this collection. Production values average. Buy that collection instead. A much better deal. Rating: - Gems of their timeWriting in the early part of this century, Doyle (best known for creating Sherlock Holmes) created a series of horror stories with a bent towards spiritualism and mystery. The selection is a good range of work with some very strong entries. "The Case of Lady Sannox" and "The Leather Funnel" are particular stand-outs. Some of Doyle's is more dated than others, but still definitely worth a read.
