"Wielu wykpiwa zjawiska nadprzyrodzone lub to, co nasz marny intelekt za takie uważa..." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) światową sławę zdobył jako twórca postaci Sherlocka Holmesa, ale interesował się bardzo wszelkimi zjawiskami nadprzyrodzonymi, brał udział w seansach spirytystycznych i ma w dorobku literackim sporo opowieści spod znaku grozy. Po edycji tomu ?Dziwne zjawiska? nadszedł czas na trzynaście kolejnych historii przedstawiających różne barwy strachu i grozy pióra jednego z najsłynniejszych pisarzy szkockich.

Podobnie jest z wyróżnianymi przez wielu czytelników opowieściami: ?Historia brunatnej ręki? czy ?De profundis?, podziwianymi za wyśmienicie wykreowany klimat. Aż szkoda, że autor ?Psa Baskerville?ów? zostawił po sobie opowieści z dreszczykiem tak mało...
