«Historias espeluznantes» is a collection of seven horror stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, published by Valdemar in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together seven tales of horror united by dread: a dreamlike journey to the torments of the Inquisition, creatures that glide through the air, a remote monster in a cave, and the spiritual vampirization of a scientist in «El parásito». It closes with revenge stories such as «El caso de Lady Sannox», «La catacumba nueva» and «El gato de Brasil».
The work is number 8 in Valdemar's El Club Diógenes collection; its first Spanish-language edition appeared in 1994.
For readers of classic horror and ghost stories, including followers of Arthur Conan Doyle who want to discover his supernatural side.
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He is best known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories about the fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, which are milestones in crime fiction, and for his first work featuring Professor Challenger, The Lost World (1912), which gave its name to a subgenre of speculative fiction. He was a prolific writer who produced over 200 stories and articles, four volumes of poetry, and a number of works for the stage. He was knighted by King Edward VII in the 1902 Coronation Honours.
