Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary creation is much more famous than the man himself. Those who do know the name Arthur Conan Doyle tend to know him only as the inventor of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. A smaller segment of this group goes further and remembers Doyle as the inventor of the great detective who squandered his fame with crackpot beliefs in faeries and the supernatural. Sadly, there is so much more to the man who revolutionized the writing not just of detective fiction but also of the genre of horror, the supernatural, and even influenced history itself. This two volume anthology's point is to put Doyle back on the pedestal he so rightly deserves. Its aim is twofold. First, to introduce readers to Doyle's lesser known (yet no less important) works. These works speak for themselves in showing a master writer at his craft. The stories are timeless, enjoyable, and hopefully will lead to new fans embracing a great author's somewhat forgotten tales. The second aim is to show the relevance of Doyle's works. Through a collection of articles written by current scholars and experts, readers can see just how revolutionary Doyle's writings remain even today. "Exciting, refreshing...this long-overdue collection of riveting stories and accessible essays proves that Doyle is every bit the master of horror. Poe and Lovecraft fans, make room on your shelves! I already can't wait for Volume 2." --Kristi Petersen Schoonover, author of Bad Apple "...That's why A Study in Terror: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Revolutionary Stories of Fear and the Supernatural is so enjoyable. These nine stories (one is a novella) are a good reminder that Doyle dared to tread where his Great Detective would not. Ghosts can apply in these stories, along with witches, sky beings and dwellers under the earth." --Jennifer Petkus, Sherlockian author of My Particular Friend A fascinating read on the science and possibilities of aeronautics in the early years of the 20th century.--Jack McDevitt, Nebula Award Winning Science Fiction Author (in reference to the story The Horror of the Heights, and the essay Oceans of the Sky) "...Informative and enjoyable!"--K.M. Weiland, author of Dreamlander and Structuring Your Novel "At a time when Sherlock Holmes continues to survive and thrive at the movie theater, on television, and on the page, Derrick Belanger has discovered a fascinating new side to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that scholars will find both absorbing and chilling. A Study in Terror...reveals that the creator of Sherlock Holmes was also a master of the macabre...Belanger's work is a brilliant and bold addition to the library of any Doyle fan..."--Timothy Hillmer, author of The Hookmen and Ravenhill
