Publisher's Synopsis
"My skin grew cold, and my hair stood on end as I listened to that steady and ponderous footfall. There was some creature there, and surely by the speed of its advance, it was one which could see in the dark. I crouched low on my rock and tried to blend myself into it. The steps grew nearer still, then stopped, and presently I was aware of a loud lapping and gurgling."Twelve tales of horror told by the master himself, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes.These stories first appeared in The Strand Magazine. This collection was first published in 1922.
