Sherlock Holmes by Paul D Gilbert Pdf

Although Sherlock Holmes had always refused to accept the potential influences of the supernatural upon the many cases with which he had been presented, there had certainly been a few which had sowed a seed of doubt within the mind of his friend and colleague, Dr. Watson. Obviously, The Hound of the Baskervilles and "The Sussex Vampire" are prime examples of these, but they are not the only ones! The apparition of a lady dressed in white and long thought dead, a deadly and shadowy form that wreaks terror on the heath and a figure from the past who has accrued the power to commune with the dead! Here is collection of cases, some new, together with a few old favourites which sorely test Holmes' long-held beliefs to their very limits! The Adventure of the Shadow on the Heath The Mystery of the Faceless Man The Adventure of the Black Plague The Mystery of the Haunted Crypt The Adventure of the Risen Corpse The Terror of Asgard Tower The Necromancer Part One: A Familiar Hand The Necromancer Part Two: A Familiar Face The Mystery of the Mumbling Duellist The Affair of the Unholy Night

Light in the Darkness by Craig Janacek Pdf

Sherlock Holmes and his biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, return in the collection LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS, a series of further adventures into both the darkest crevices of the human soul, as well as our profound capacity for compassion. In Part I: THE FIRST OF CRIMINALS, Holmes and Watson descend into the horrors that lurk in the minds of men who have gone terribly wrong. A terror stalks the darkest corners of London's twisting lanes in The Adventure of the Monstrous Blood. A one-great hero has been afflicted by a dreadful psychosis in The Adventure of the Mad Colonel. The Black Death returns, placing all of London at risk, in The Adventure of the Fateful Malady. Finally, Holmes and Watson must confront a tragic villain at the scene of their first meeting, in the case that induces Holmes to hang up his deerstalker hat, The Adventure of the Barren Grave. Then, in Part II: THE SEASON OF FORGIVENESS, Holmes and Watson embark upon a trio of uplifting cases occurring during the midwinter holidays. With Holmes bed-ridden after an injury, Watson must be his eyes and ears when an old coin and a missing man intimate the recurrence of an ancient plot with potentially explosive political ramifications in The Adventure of the Spanish Sovereign. A physician is accused of poisoning his patient's Christmas wassail in The Adventure of the Manufactured Miracle. Finally, a dying man's last words and a madman's attack upon Christmas trees send Holmes and Watson on the tracks of a decade-old crime in The Adventure of the First Star. The compilation concludes with The Grand Gift of Sherlock, a final letter from Holmes to Watson at the very end of World War I, which is sure to delight bibliophiles with its depiction of Watson's bookcase and its moving testament to the enduring power of friendship.All seven adventures are told by Dr. Watson in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as The Adventure of the Speckled Band and The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. This edition contains fully-annotated versions of the cases, containing a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare these newly unearthed tales by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of the world's first consulting detective.

The Best Supernatural Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle by A. C. Doyle Pdf

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. — Sherlock Holmes When Holmes wearied of mundane Victorian reality, he reached for the cocaine; his creator Doyle reached beyond reality, to the occult mystery world as real to him as a hansom cab—so real that it became part of his fiction. It is no surprise that in the year "A Study in Scarlet" appeared (1887), this versatile writer was reading seriously in spiritualism, attending séances, and had already written some of the thrilling tales in this book. The Best Supernatural Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle gathers together for the first time in an American edition the fifteen finest short stories in this genre by the master storyteller. Relative to his vast literary output, Doyle wrote comparatively few stories dealing specifically with spiritualism, Egyptian magic, psychometry, and other occult domains he knew so thoroughly — and these scattered stories, skeptically dismissed or simply buried beneath the mass of his detective, historical, sports, medical, and other pieces, have yet to receive their due as superior or typical examples of his narrative power. The polymath Doyle has recourse to many twilit borderline realms of the beyond in these stories which appeared in various periodicals from 1880 to 1921. "The Bully of Brocas Court" gives a new slant to the Victorian ghost story in one of Doyle's favorite settings, the world of boxing. "The Captain of the Polestar" recalls the weird northern backdrop of the author's whaling adventures; "The Brown Hand" deals in body-soul bondage with a touch of the East. Two hackle-raising histories, "Lot No. 249" and "The Ring of Thoth," depend on the riddle of Egyptian mummy lore; "The Leather Funnel" and "The Silver Hatchet" involve psychometry, a material object's retention of an aura or memory of its past, which a sensitive being can "replay" through dreams. And then there is "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement," Doyle's speculative solution to the Marie Celeste conundrum, which was vehemently denounced when published (anonymously) because it seemed so true and so terrible. Doyle readers, students of the occult, and anyone who loves an imaginative tale will wish to experience, through these obscure, rarely reprinted stories, what was personally so close to their author.

Sherlock Holmes by Simon Clark Pdf

Written in the classic manner of the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Simon Clark presents six occult tales that plunge Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson into a series of adventures that are as mysterious as they are deadly. Simon Clark has been writing Holmes stories for over twenty years, and has also edited two anthologies, The Mammoth Book of Sherlock Holmes Abroad and Sherlock Holmes' School for Detection for Robinson. This substantial collection, of more than eighty thousand words, features several novella length tales that venture into the eeriest of territories and the strangest of encounters, including: Holmes' forensic examination of ancient Egyptian mummies that are not what they first seem? nor do they remain as motionless as the dead should be. Holmes and Watson descend into ocean depths in a diving bell, hunting for the source of an uncanny voice that haunts all that hear it. The great detective goes in search of an old friend through a grim landscape of trenches, barbed wire and shell craters in a world scarred by war. A man implores Holmes to save his daughter who might well be the victim of a terrible curse invoked by a pagan god from the bloody age of the Vikings.Holmes went to stand at the black coffin, although I should employ the correct term 'sarcophagus'-this one profusely covered with etchings of those mysterious hieroglyphs and, almost covering one side, a large eye of Horus, that ancient symbol of magical protection composed of flowing lines. "Watson, if you please?" My friend spoke in vigorous tones. "Would you be so good as to hand me the scalpel? I wish to see what lies beneath this gentleman's face." All the stories are new and original to this collection with the exception of 'Sherlock Holmes & the Diving Bell', which was first published in Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes, edited by J.R Campbell and Charles Prepolec, EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing, 2011.
