The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Although best known for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, and despite claiming he preferred his historical fiction, during his writing career of over fifty years Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a remarkable number of weird and supernatural tales. With his belief in spiritualism later in life only adding to his passion for the unknown, pulling at this thread of his fiction reveals a writer deeply fascinated in matters of the occult, the uncanny, and the unexplainable. This volume collects the very best of Doyle’s strange stories and also includes his never-before-reprinted essay on his own spiritual experiences, ‘Stranger than Fiction’.
