When one sees the name Conan Doyle, the character of Sherlock Holmes will spring to mind, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a master of many literary genres, particularly the short-story, and was acclaimed in his day as much for his thrilling tales of mystery and the supernatural as for his detective stories. This collection of stories, concerned with ghosts, obscure scientific experiments, and other unexplained phenomena,presents one of the author's great passions, the love of esoteric science, discovering the secrets of the mystic and spirituality. They were first published in 1922 and the collection offers the chance to discover this master storyteller's ability to surprise and enthrall.

I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his."
