Resumen del Editor

Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic tales. Many of Doyle's writings are recognized as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes.

This collection brings together over 30 of Conan Doyle's best Gothic tales. Darryl Jones's introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle's very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Table of Contents by Title for Gothic Tales

Gothic Tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Here is a list of the complete table of contents, by chapter, for the Audible audiobook book Gothic Tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. At a length of 19 hours and 12 minutes it can be very frustrating to get to the right chapter. Selecting the table of contents in the Audible app lists only the chapter numbers—without the title! This omission seems especially egregious with audiobooks of this length. It was particularly a problem for me because I am using an Amazon Echo Show device with Alexa to select and play the desired chapter. Note: Using Alexa, this can be done by saying "Alexa, play my Audible book Gothic Tales" and then "Alexa, go to chapter 10" or whatever the chapter number. But with only the chapter numbers it was hit or miss getting to the specific chapter I wished to hear.

This being the case, I have included below the story title for each chapter in hopes it will be useful in seeing what's included in this audiobook and for selecting the correct chapter from the Audible app or from an Alexa device like the Amazon Echo Show, Echo Dot, Echo Auto, Echo Frames eyeglasses, and/or an Amazon Fire TV or Fire Tablet.
