Short stories
Collected Short Stories, Volume 1 opens a multi-volume series gathering Arthur Conan Doyle's rich array of short fiction beyond the Sherlock Holmes canon. In this first volume, readers are introduced to Doyle's early storytelling mastery across genres – mystery, adventure, horror, and humor. These tales, written in the 1880s, showcase Doyle's youthful imagination and range: from eerie supernatural pieces set on stormy moors to swashbuckling adventures in far-off lands. Each story brims with Victorian atmosphere and Doyle's gift for suspenseful pacing. Notable early entries might include "The Captain of the Pole-Star," a chilling Arctic ghost story, and "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement," a speculative tale inspired by the Mary Celeste mystery. Volume 1 thus serves as an engaging primer to Doyle's lesser-known works, highlighting the formative themes and narrative flair that would later cement his fame.
