Collected Short Stories, Volume 3: Volume 3

Collected Short Stories, Volume 3 presents another treasury of Arthur Conan Doyle's short fiction, highlighting the middle of his career. This volume brings together stories that often carry a moral or philosophical twist. Doyle's narrative craftsmanship shines in tales that range from mysteries solved by uncanny means to heartwarming domestic vignettes. Readers may encounter a supernatural puzzle resolved with a rational explanation, as well as slices of everyday Victorian life imbued with Doyle's gentle humor. Standout pieces include "Lot No. 249," a gripping tale of an Egyptian mummy brought to life (one of the first mummy horror stories in English literature), and "The Los Amigos Fiasco," a satirical piece on the misuse of the electric chair. Whether exploring the uncanny, the technological, or the intimate, Volume 3 underscores Doyle's talent for blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, ensuring each story is memorable.
