The Captain of the Polestar and Other Tales

Though the father of crime fiction and the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a masterful storyteller beyond his most popular detective. In addition to his mysteries, he ventured into the world of the supernatural and occult. The Captain of the Polestar is one of his best works of horror and grotesque. It is a collection of independent stories involving condemned ship voyages, shipwrecks, tainted and forgotten memories, robberies, and the undead.
