Publisher's Synopsis
A third step into the unknown in the company of Wilkie Collins
In this, the third and final substantial collection of the supernatural and weird fiction of Wilkie Collins from Leonaur, readers can expect yet another generous helping of the strange and chilling from this Victorian master of the genre. 'The Dead Secret' leads the way with a bizarre tale of madness, intrigue, deception and ghostly visitations that will grip the reader to the last page. The pace continues relentlessly with seven shorter pieces: 'Blow Up With the Brig', 'Mrs Zant and the Ghost', 'The Devil's Spectacles', 'The Captain and the Nymph', 'The Angler's Story of the Lady of Glenwith Grange', 'The Nun's Story of Gabriel's Marriage' and 'The Last Stage Coachman'. Those new to Collins are bound for a treat with this three volume Leonaur collection and those who already love his work now have the opportunity to own his most haunting works brought together in an attractive coordinating set.
