Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a lasting interest in the supernatural, and
in Sherlock Holmes: The Dark Mysteries, Sherlock Holmes expert David
Stuart Davies has selected the Holmes and Watson cases that best reflect
this. The first is that classic novella, the terrifying The Hound of
the Baskervilles, followed by nine Gothic adventures: The Sussex
Vampire, The Creeping Man, Shoscombe Old Place, The Disappearance of
Lady Frances Carfax, The Veiled Lodger, The Devil's Foot, The Blanched
Soldier, and The Cardboard Box, all with the original illustrations.
Illustrated by Sidney Paget and others, the illustrators of the original
stories in The Strand magazine.
